Currently in Homer, Alaska, the wild roses are in bloom and this year seems to be the most spectacular I can recall in 42 years! Everywhere you look there a many roses in bloom. I adore them so, their beautiful deep red pink when first opening, to their soft baby pink when in full bloom. Their delicate subtle fragrance can be delightful if there is a breeze blowing your way on a warm day. I told my husband I hope I pass in June when the roses are in bloom and can join them in the field. Thank you for a wonderful story Elizabeth!
Really engaging and informative.
I also love your watercolour sketches of each process in the rose petal distillation for rose-oil or the recipes for rose-water and rose syrup.
Thank-you.
