Scientific Name: Rosa gallica
Medicinal Properties:
Roses can be used as a mild sedative, antidepressant and anti- inflammatory remedy. Rose petals and
their preparations have a similar action. They also help reduce high cholesterol levels.
Rosewater is mildly astringent and makes a valuable lotion for inflamed and sore eyes.
Magickal Properties
Gender: Feminine
Planet: Venus
Element: water
Deities: Hathor, Hulda, Eros, cupid, Demeter, Isis, Adonis, Harpocrates and Aurora
Roses have long been used in love mixtures, owing to the flower’s associations with the emotions. A
chaplet of roses worn when performing love spells or a single rose in a vase on the altar, are powerful
love-magick aids. Rose water distilled from the petals is added to love baths. Rose hips (the fruit of
the rose) are strung and worn as love-attracting beads.
A tea of rosebuds drunk before sleep induces prophetic dreams. To discover their romantic future,
women used to take three green rose leaves and name each for one of their lovers. The one that
stayed green the longest answered the question of “Which One?”
Rose petals and hips are also used in healing spells and mixtures, and a rosewater saturated cloth laid
to the temples will relieve headache pain. Roses are also added to fast-luck mixtures and when
carried, act as personal protectants.
Rose petals sprinkled around the house calm personal stress and household upheavals. Roses planted
in the garden attract fairies and are said to grow best when stolen.
