Rose Dose, Rose Petals (1 oz) Culinary Grade (Infusions, Garnishes, Teas, Crafts)

There is nothing quite like planting your very own little garden of plants and watching it grow and flourish! Especially if you find that it happens to be your talent and passion! I have been growing my own Roses along with hundreds of Annuals, Perennials, shrubs and theraputic herbs here in the Mid-Atlantic area of the U.S. for more than 23 years now. It has only been in the last few years that I have been able to enjoy the benefits of my labors. I have always believed in what we now call "Organic" growing. My father had cattle on our property that he grass fed before that was popular 40 years ago, I grew up eating it out of my freezer. Every other red meat tasted like dirt to me. Lol. Anyhow, There is a major problem with growing roses here and most could probably guess what it is. Because of the constant Humidity they have to be sprayed with Fungicide at least twice a year or they will succumb to one of many diseases born of said humidity. Maybe you've heard of Blackspot or Powdery mildew?! Yeah, sounds gross and looks even nastier, plus it can spread to other plants and flowers and just make a huge mess!! Anyone who says they can grow REAL roses here without some type of Fungicide is Lying. I have tried EVERY homemade recipe I've been given or found that claims to work - baking soda mixed with dish soap and milk, etc. Blah blah blah, I lost dozens of roses, money, patience and hair trying to be organic over and over and over again. I now use a semi-toxic well trusted brand from a 75 year old Rose company two or three times a year on specific roses that need it on days with zero wind and cardboard blocking. I am growing genuine Hybrid Teas, Floribundas, Old garden, Landscape and miniature roses here. Not to mention the dozens I have lost over the years in the learning process. These roses are Not disease resistant like the new "Knockout" series, they are also each unique, gorgeous, smell unbelievable and bring great joy to those who visit my garden or receive flowers from it.This part of the country has fantastic soil once amended a bit and we get plenty of rain. I think we established that! Lol We just had a year of record breaking rainfall of over 65" last year. Our average here is around 40". This rain makes for great growth in my gardens, however, not so great for my Roses, especially when they need more sun instead of days of rain and then burning sun and 70% humidity!So, I wanted to find some excellent totally Organic Roses for my tea recipes. These are some really gorgeous dried rose buds from Rose Dose. The color is preserved quite perfectly and they have a very sweet and heavenly scent that could be considered strong by those who are not rose lovers. To me, it is just this side of lovely instead of harsh. They look so pretty in the little resealable bag and were obviously packaged with utmost care. I love that! That is how you can tell the owner cares about this product and their customer.These are absolutely perfect for little cups of tea or other herbal remedy, decorating cupcakes or any kind of pretty baking or DIY projects! I am fairly positive these roses are 100% organic as well because I have become very familiar with the scent differences between roses that have been treated and those that haven't. It is especially noticeable when they are dried if they were treated chemically. It doesn't matter if it was a Fungicide or Herbicide or even a chemical fertilizer; there is an "off" smell that is difficult to describe, sometimes anyone could notice it or it could be much more subtle or even sickly sweet.I am just happy to find a company that loves roses as much as I do! I will be coming back to Rose Dose for my herbal rose needs as long as there is humidity here in the Mid-Atlantic!

I love these organic dried rosebuds!! They're visually beautiful, vibrant in taste, and aromatic. As an herbalist, I love formulating herbal tea blends, and roses are truly a gift from mother nature. Roses are a symbolic gift of the heart and they have a positive effect on the physical heart. They also help people who are struggling with heartache, grief, sadness, anxiety and depression.Roses have astringent, anti-inflammatory and antioxident benefits, helping to heal wounds, tone tissues and improve skin. Rose hips (the fruit) can even improve pain and wellbeing in arthritic patients. Both rose petals and hips are high in bioflavanoids and vitamin C.These rosebuds are tasty and they smell lovely! The quality is good and the price is very fair. I've used the rosebuds in various herbal tea blends, and they're so, SO good!! I highly recommend this to others!🌷

I am satisfied with the quality. The rose buds are fresh，clean and smell good. The aroma is like rose，honey and chrysanthemum. The petals quickly turn in light pink in hot water and the tea is beautiful yellowish-greenish color. There is only one thing a bit disappointing that is the tea was not strong tasted as the smell of buds. I have had better rose tea before. The rosebuds that I had a few years ago were called French rosebuds bought from a supermarket of my hometown. They were creamy pink with longer petals and bigger size than the Rosa Damascena buds. I don't know which type of rose they are，may be Rosa Centifolia I guess. The tea had wonderful fresh rose aroma taste with a bit of honey like sweetness. 5 rosebuds were long lasting for all day drink. I miss it and will go back for it. However, I still recommend this product. It is clean，fresh，and safe for tea and baking.

This rose buds are amazing. So I bought here on amazon rose buds prior from different source; some was from USA and other from China. None of them had an aroma, like this one; nice aroma, smell that makes tea experience to be so pleasant. I like drinking teas and I and like to have nice quality teas with aroma. Mostly I love rose buds. There is something special about this. It’s smells amazing from that He time you open the bag and when you drink it. Not just me, the lady likes it but even my son loving it. During day time I mix green te with rose buds but before night I’m drinking only rose buds tea. Loving it so much. Best quality. Once you try this brand and source from Bulgaria, you won’t go somewhere else. Bilgaria, I believe is the source country of origin of the tea rose buds. Thank you for the nice quality product. Rose buds lovely, fresh, has beautiful aroma and smells amazingly. Their website has much more variations of teas than amazon. Also Etsy has their product too. I got from Etsy website in bigger quantity. I tried many other brand-sources. Nothing like this one.

Nice, pretty single buds/ they are quite small and color is dull!

Okay, this is just such a nice treat for your senses. It’s visually pretty and uplifting. It’s roses in your cup! If that doesn’t make you feel like A Queen I don’t know what will. When you take a sip, you get a whiff of roses. Divine. And the roses touch your lips when you sip like soft pillows (hmmmm, sounds weird, but it’s not). Anyhow my tea or water with roses taste just like that. It’s not potent, being more of a hint of Rose in my opinion. And as you can tell I’m a new fan. Will make a nice gift by itself or along with a personalized tea cup/mug (not included!). Enjoy!
