1. At florists I have bought little baggies of fresh rose petals to put in a romantic bath...it's a real treat. They are also nice dried as long as they are well spread out during the drying process so they don't mould. Try to get them before they fall from the bush. Little potpourri pouches of rose and lavender?
2. in India a product know as gulkand/gulkhand is made from rose petals. its a big cottage industry. most of the indian traditional houses or family homes have a bottle of gulkand. ofcourse there is a specific red coloured fragnant variety but do little research and you will know. let me tell some points. Gulkand is an Arabic word Gul means Rose and Kand means Sugar. Ingredients of Gulkand are fresh rose petals and sugar. Gulkand is undoubtedly the most delicious Ayurvedic preparation known to mankind. It is made primarily of rose petals which are collected at their peak condition. It also contains other rejuvenating herbs blended in just the right proportions. Gulkand has been traditionally used as a cooling tonic to combat fatigue, lethary, mucular aches, biliousness itching, and heat-related conditions. It is good for memory, eyesight, cheerfulness and it is a good blood purifier. It is also naturally rich in calcium and has antioxidant. It can be used year-round by persons of all constitutions, especially Vata and Pitta. Indian Ayurvedic doctors, use it for cancer patients.
