Rose

Besides putting on a beautiful show, this plant has become a favorite of mine for sever reasons.  It is fantastic for pollinators. The petals have a spinach texture and a lovely flavor for salads. I use water extracted from them to cool sunburns, as a skin toner, and to cook with. I love to add them to a bit of warmed goat milk to bathe in or use to moisturize my skin. It is known to be antibacterial and anti-inflammatory.  It helps to support collagen production, which as a middle age woman is a fantastic perk.
