I adore my rose essences from Bulgaria and Turkey, especially the ones that come from the small, family farms.

I am a rose-lover (well, that all sounded like an intro in "anonymous rose-lovers").<br />I cannot hide that I am really pleased you first listed the rose oil from Bulgaria and Turkey!<br />Lots of people here do not appreciate the cherished treasure we have in terms of the rose valley in Bulgaria. And every second woman in Bulgaria says that she 'hates' perfumes with roses...It's a paradox but most of them don't even give a chance to beautiful concoctions like the Chloe range or the classic Paris - YSL and its flankers, not to mention niche perfumery creations (which are not easily accessible in Bulgaria). Furthermore, the natural perfumery is a chimere here, as well.<br />Love your photos!Lyubovhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11157867536911237953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-220599765887146751.post-83156346915529162902013-02-12T01:20:29.076-07:002013-02-12T01:20:29.076-07:00Katie, well my dear, you are Ms. Prose of Rose!

I was under impressed with the sample I received, and found it too similar to other leaves from the rose family (raspberry leaf, for instance). <br />Your gardening stories and the book recommendations are inspiring! <br />Please do share some of your rosehips recipes. Do you just brew them in tea, or --?nAyala Morielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11542536171134508229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-220599765887146751.post-22480303857515003212013-02-11T23:08:15.955-07:002013-02-11T23:08:15.955-07:00Hi Maggie, blowing you kisses across the wooded hi...Hi Maggie, blowing you kisses across the wooded hillsides.

I don't prune my roses so I can benefit from the rosehips in winter which I tincture, macerate and infuse into a variety of syrups and cordials that keep my family healthy. I'd love to try that South African rose leaf absolute!
