importance And Uses Of Rose Flower

Rose is most popular for its good scent. This is because,

naturally, the rose flower produces a beautiful fragrance. This
fragrance comes from its petals, as there are tiny perfume glands
on them. So, rose extracts are used as natural perfumes.

Similarly, rose water extracted out of rose petals is used in many

cultures for many purposes. It has many beneficial effects on the
skin when applied directly, thus, it is part of many cosmetic
products.

Rose petals can be eaten even in their raw form, thus, rose is
used as a natural flavouring ingredient. In the simplest form, the
rose essence is used to make syrups which is used in
preparations like rose falooda, rose sherbet and rose milk. Rose
petals mixed with sugar are also used to prepare a sweet
preserve known as gulkand, which is eaten for a cooling effect
in the stomach.

Rose flower has a symbolic significance in different cultures.

For example, the red rose is a symbol of love. No other flower is
as popular as a red rose when it comes to conveying feelings of
love.
