Rose (Rosa)

The Rose (rosa), known as the 'queen of flowers', has a long history of mundane and magickal usage. Said to have been first cultivated in China approximately 5000 years ago, the Rose has been a favoured plant ever since. Considered the emblem of Venus (the goddess of love), the Rose is highly associated with love and friendship, as is seen in gifting a lover/ valentine with a Rose.

The Magickal benefits of this herb are not set in stone. These magickal benefits are from a Eurocentric viewpoint, as is my personal background/ research and what I am familiar with.

Do your own research before working with each ingredient always and consult sources from your own ancestral background. What is right for me in my situation, may be completely wrong for you.
