Roses are one of the most loved of all flowers and for all the good reasons. Roses are known for their symbology of beauty and love and are even honoured for their scent, cosmetic value, and medical benefits.
Those gorgeous pink and red florals of the Rosacea family come from a period 35–70 million years ago. Roses in the ancient Mediterranean were symbols of luxury and beauty. During that time, they were used in perfumes, wine, incense, food, and garlands. The ancient times also regarded roses as an important medicinal ingredient. Dried rose petals made an effective remedy for fungal infections back then. A mixture of rose oil and butter served as a remedy for dysentery. Not just this! The juice from rose petals was used to heal canker sores.
In 1867, Jean-Baptiste André Guillot, a French horticulturist, created the hybrid tea rose “La France”. In 2006, the world’s most expensive rose, “Juliet,” was cultivated by David Austin. The flower took 15 years to breed and cost $3 million. The demand for roses has undoubtedly increased over the years. Today, roses are not just hailed for their aesthetic beauty but also for their medicinal value, just like in the past. The “rose hip”, a part of the rose flower located just below the petals, is jam-packed with vitamin C and is extensively used in jellies and jams.
Dried rose petals, a powerhouse of antioxidants, are used to prepare herbal tea concoctions. The polyphenols in rose tea are widely known to reduce the risk of diabetes, obesity, and heart disease.
Not to mention, rose water, rose essential oil, and rose soaps have significantly changed the beauty space and helped people move towards cleaner and natural beauty.
