  • Rose hip tea, aromatherapy oils and rose water - there's no shortage of herbal and culinary products made from rose flowers and hips. Roses have been used for centuries in food and medicine. In this video, I aim to make a quick survey of the supposed herbal used of rose products, and recommend which kinds of roses would be good recommendations for growing and harvesting your own.

    I'm Syrian and I can attest that we use rose water/ rose petals in SO many things. I'm also an herbalist and use it in many herbal tea blends for various issues, as well as various skincare items. I love collecting Old rose varieties for this purpose, particularly Damasks (Because of course I would lol)

    For culinary use I loved that you mentioned you should cut the white part, beacuse it's bitter. Also I'd say don't pick the flowers that are fully open and nearly spent. It turned my jam bitter first. Buds don't yield much material. Go for the half open, blooming, but not spent roses.

    In Bulgaria one can find an array of rose products for cosmetology and culinary use.
    My favorites are a rose lokum, rose custard, and rose liquor. I like rose jelly, not so much rose jam, or rose jam filled chocolate bonbons.
    Rose essential oils are good for skin and as natural perfume.

    Nice topic! My favorites rose for eating is the Blue Girl. It's so fragrant and the petals are thick. I like it for making Rose Jam and Rose Honey. I also like White Dawn for eating. I use both in salads, too. I've never run across a really red rose that had good flavor, though I try every red one I come across that hasn't been sprayed. I have a decades-old yellow rose that I don't know the name of, and it's good for eating, too.

    Looking for info on harvesting and home-processing rose hips and I knew you would have authoritative information. Unfortunately I’ll need to seek further to get specifics that sound reasonable but I still appreciate your coverage. Years ago I created a small bed of heirloom roses from a shovelful in a neighbor’s yard. The patch has grown into a very large hedge and I added White Rose of York (?rosa alba). It is spectacular! But I until recently I didn’t realize what a treasure I have in rose hips.

Though as soon as we have wind or rain it batters them 😢as they are really delicate.. thus is why I'm looking into preserving them as much as I can..

    • @FraserValleyRoseFarm
      @FraserValleyRoseFarm  Před 2 lety +1

      Those are Chinese rose buds. If you go onto Alibaba, you can see how they describe the various rose buds they market for tea mainly. The little pink ones are quite pretty. I honestly don't know how much to trust these suppliers when they say "tea grade" or "food grade" or even "organic" - I mean, really, who's to say? I saw one of them selling "Damask" rose petals with China as the country of origin. I can't be sure, but I've never heard of the true Damask rose being grown in any quantity in China.

    Hey Jason, I have a beautiful Coral color rose, the most strong scented rose in my garden. I wanted to preserve that scent in some way, so I was wondering what you would recommend me to do so I can preserve the scent of that rose. Maybe making rose oil, rose perfume, or rose water, and how I could go about doing that. Thanks so much, awesome content!!

    • @FraserValleyRoseFarm
      @FraserValleyRoseFarm  Před 2 lety

      I don't know about a way to preserve it over a long period. Different oils in the rose petals can be infused into water (as mentioned) or into other oils. I think the first "rose oils" mentioned in alchemy would have been other liquid fats (like olive oil) infused with rose petals. The problem would be twofold, I think: 1) neither method will absorb the entirety of the scent. Some floral scents will be absorbed by oil, some by water, and some by neither. 2) depending on how long you want to keep it, but neither method lasts forever.

    • @gwbuilder5779
      @gwbuilder5779 Před 2 lety

      If you are trying to infuse the rose petals into oil, I would recommend extra light olive oil and keep the temperature as low as possible, just enough to infuse (be careful not to burn it because it can become toxic). I personally cook with extra light olive oil, so it is safe, but I don't use very high heat.
      The reason I say extra light is because it has the least amount of scent. Most olive oil and nut oils as well have a fairly strong natural scent that can influence the scent you are trying to capture. I know several people here in Hawaii use macadamia oil for the island scent influence, but keep that in mind as you test different oils to find one that fits your purpose.🤙

    • @djjay-kay7636
      @djjay-kay7636 Před 6 dny

      To be honest something lighter and less scented like jojoba or apricot oil might work better, I've also used sweet almond oil. It becomes very lightly scented if you infuse it for 4-6 weeks rather than heating it up.
      Also, I hydro-distill rose water at home and the distillation is much more potent smelling and lasts about a year. I've looked into perfuming and it's tricky and can get expensive. You need 95% ethanol alcohol which is illegal in most states without a perfumer's license.

    I am doing some research, one website listed Rose des Rescht as the best for jam, syrup, tea etc. Kazanlik too. This year the light scented Queen Elizabeth II rose is use to make jam etc for Platinum Jubilee Celebration condiments, can't remember by which company. Mini Overnightscensation is use by Shisedo in its Zen perfume. Rugosa Moje Hammerburg has lovely big purple hips that taste like plums. Comte de Chambord fragrant is stated being used to produce English rose perfume for 250 years but i can't find any other sources to support this single claim. If it is true, it could make such lovely rosewater. Blanc Double de Coubert is said to have aromatic hips great for tea, jam & jellies. Another single claim but not other supported text is Louis Phillipe was used to make old Southern recipes for syrups, rosewater, jellies etc.

I also read the best ones for drinks and confections are with sweet fragrance and to avoid those with strong myrrh fragrance. I think striped and other multicoloured roses could create amazing visual presentation when coupled with delicious taste. Can't wait to experiment with Vick's Caprice.
