Rae Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 Does anybody know where to get this? I only found 1 foreign place when googling. I want it for an anti-aging cream.TIA!Rae Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beekeeper_sd Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 Make it yourself. It is soooooo easy. I just asked my local florist if they would save me any red or pink roses they couldn't sell (they always have some and will usually give them to you for at no charge). And, the only reason I asked for red or pink is for the color, any rose will work. Strip the petals off the rose and place in a pan of water. Use a plate (just a bit smaller than the pan) to hold the rose petals under water. Heat the water to just under the boiling stage and simmer for approximately 1-2 hour or until the color all leaves the rose petals. Strain the rose water and store in the refrigerator. It turns out wonderful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rae Posted April 17, 2009 Author Share Posted April 17, 2009 Thanks, Beekeeper! We only have 2 rose bushes and I told my husband I wish we knew a florist that would give us some petals. I might try calling some. I printed the instructions off to make it.Rae Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
debratant Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 I bought several floral waters from New Directions Aromatics. They are great quality. http://www.newdirectionsaromatics.com/rose-floral-water-p-809.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rae Posted April 17, 2009 Author Share Posted April 17, 2009 Thanks, Debbie. I ordered some earlier this evening and paid, with shipping, $27.80 for 500ml. I know what I got was 100% pure, whatever that means. I will have to try the one you recommended the next time. Thanks so much.Rae Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
