The delicate rose centipede and its beautiful scent are a classic of natural cosmetics and the world of fragrances. Aromatherapist and phytotherapist Aneta Jirchářová will tell you about this beautiful plant and its flower water, or hydrolate.
From Mom's Life
So I thought of taking a scooter and going to get the package. The way there is uphill, but the way back down the hill will be easy. But I didn't realize that the entire sidewalk is paved. Plus the weight of my son, who was just a passenger, made my plan, which seemed so great at first, not any easier. Well, I won't prolong it. I came home beaten up like a "rug on a beater" and scalded like a heated dumpling. Fortunately, I knew what was waiting for me in the package. Yes, Rose hydrosolI wrapped myself in the cooling mist that the centipede rose provides.
Roses as an elixir of beauty
The creation of the rose centifolia was contributed by the Damask rose, the Celtic rose, the rose hips and the musk rose. It is therefore a refined hybrid and its strongly intoxicating fragrance hides the aroma and magic of each of its creators. The rose is an elixir of beauty. Its effects against the signs of skin aging have been known since ancient times.
Rose centipede in literature
The centipede rose is celebrated in songs and fables. In the story by Karel Jaromír Erben Rose centipede, Its roots underground bind a dangerous animal, which if it were to reach the surface, the destruction of the world would await us. And yet you can easily pull it out. But it would be a big mistake for anyone to try. The fire will burn the whole earth and everything on it will lie in ashes. Only the hundred-leaf rose will remain. And two people gathered near it who wanted to rule the world and its leaves were to decide. Whoever plucks the last leaf will become the ruler. The first leaf will be yours, the second mine and the third destroys, and so on. But the hundred-leaf rose did not want only one to rule the world, and the third leaf, which did not belong to anyone, remained on the rose. And so the two of them parted ways and waited for the right time to come when only one could rule the world.
Rose Centipede in aromatherapy
The aroma of a rose opens the heart to love and is a symbol of femininity. She is a self-sufficient, friendly woman who will not be fooled by anyone. It harmonizes emotions and helps us discover the magic of our soul and love it. It teaches us to love ourselves and appreciate every bit of our body. And although the centipede rose is rarely seen in gardens anymore, it is still found in someone's home and coquettishly sticks its flowers through the fence, inviting passersby to smell it and pluck it. But don't be tempted and remember what its roots hold in chains underground.
