You will need 12 or so roses for this project. I plucked what used to be my beautiful Valentine's roses from Sweet Hubby. (Let me insert a step here if you use roses from your garden, some suggest to soak the buds in vinegar first for about 15 minutes to kill any insects and to clean the petals... then rinse well with cold water and pluck apart.) Bring three cups of water to a boil.
Remove from heat. Add your petals and stir to wet all the petals.
Let cool completely. You can even place it in the refrigerator overnight and finish the next day. Strain the cooled liquid into a jar or bottle with a spray or spritzer top. Squeeze lumps of petals to get all the water possible! Isn't there such a delightful aroma!
Spray on after your shower! My dark red buds made dark liquid. As you can imagine, pink buds will produce pink rose water. Soooo easy peasy... and it smells divine!
