DESCRIPTION:
Rosa moschata is a shrub that blooms in late spring and late autumn in warm climates, or from late summer on in cool climates. The flowers are known to have a musky scent, giving the plant its rose name. The plant has thorny branches, and white or pink blossoms with a small, round orange fruit that contain Rosehip Seed Oil. This oil is precious thanks to its rich concentration of antioxidants and Vitamins A and E. Rosehip Seed Oil is known to support the skin’s elasticity and promotes healing.
Rosehip is associated with the planet Venus and the element of water, and many people add rosehip to potpourri to create a peaceful, calm atmosphere. Rosehip tea is also known as a good way to start a romantic evening with a partner.
