Rosa spp. · Dried Pink Petals · Fragrant Rose Tea & Pantry
Dried Pink Rose Petals (Rosa spp.) are beautifully fragrant flower petals recognised for their soft floral aroma and naturally varied shades of blush pink, cream, peach and deeper rose.
Traditionally explored as both a culinary and botanical flower, dried rose petals can be steeped to create a delicate floral infusion commonly known as rose tea. Their character is fragrant, gently floral and subtly sweet, making them beautiful on their own or as part of carefully considered botanical blends.
Roses have been cultivated and appreciated for thousands of years across many cultures, where their flowers have become deeply woven into culinary traditions, perfumery, gardens and traditional botanical preparations.
At Flowers from my Meadow, our Pink Rose Petals are kept pure and uncomplicated — carefully packed as a single dried botanical for tea, botanical blending and creative culinary preparations.
