Rose Scented Herbal Bath

1/2 Cup rose buds or rose petals
1 1/2 Cups old-fashioned rose geranium
1 1/2 Cups true rose geranium
1/2 tsp. ground cloves

Home-grown roses and most wild roses
have plentiful fragrance while many florist
roses lack the beloved rose scent.
If gathering rosebuds, pick them after dew
or rain has evaporated. Pick the petals
of open flowers before they fade and when
dry, also.
La vita non è tutta rosa
Rose buds, because of their thickness, need
to dry throughly, and be stored separately
from petals.
I never promised you a rose garden
The clove spice is optional; it adds an
indescribable depth to the rose scent as well
as increases the longevity of the fragrance.

Sweet as the rose that died last year is the
rose that is born today.
Cosmo Monkhouse

The rose has thorns only for
those who would pluck it.
- Chinese Proverb

Thorns and roses grow on the same tree.
- Turkish Proverb

Two roses on one slender spray
In sweet communion grew,
Together hailed the morning ray
And drank the evening dew.
