June is the month for brides. Androses are the flowers of love. So I think it fitting to focus on roses thismonth. Don't you? Not only are roses beautiful, they are good medicine and finefood. Yes, all roses that haven't beensprayed with poisons (more about that later) can be eaten, whether cultivatedor wild, climbing or bushy, white, pink, yellow, or red. My favorite Junebreakfast is whole wheat toast with butter or cultured cream cheese and adouble layer of fresh rose petals. That sure wakes me up! It's a nice change,too, from my spring fancy breakfast, which is whole wheat toast with butter andviolet flowers. Roses capture our imagination likefew flowers, and that's saying a lot, as any flower can trigger a wonderfullyimaginative burst from even the least poetic of us. "How sweet to seizethe blushing Prey, And snatch it from the Thorn away!" said Anacreon inthe fifth century BCE (translated by Addison, 1735). In mythology, Flora, thegoddess of flowers, asks the gods to help her revive a beloved, now dead,nymph. Apollo gives her the breath of life; Bacchus washes her in nectar;Vertummus gives her a lovely scent; Pomona makes her fruitful; and Floraherself gives her a crown of shimmering petals. Thus Rose, the "queen offlowers", is created.Roses are painted on fine china,splashed across wallpaper, fashioned out of satin and silk and sewn ontoclothes and hats, even dipped in gold and silver. Roses are the very image ofinnocence; roses are filled with sexual allure. Roses are chaste and pure;roses are wanton and wild. Roses bloom and fade in a day, like love, perfectbut passing. Roses endure, blooming year after year, like love, eternal. Rose gardens are found all overthe world. Notable rose gardens include the Brooklyn Botanic Garden in NewYork, Kew Gardens in England, Westbroekpark in the Netherlands (with 20,000plants), the Parc de la Grange in Geneva (with 12,000 plants), and the gardensof the Italian Rose Society in Milan. The largest garden in the world devotedentirely to roses is in Shreveport, Louisiana, where more than 70,000 plantsare collected into 40 different rose gardens. There are at least two cities thatclaim to be "The City of Roses". One is Portland, Oregon, where the 10,000roses of the International Rose Test Gardens are terraced on five acres ofhillside in the shadow of Mt. Hood. The other is Chandigarh, the capital of thePunjab in India, where 60,000 plants make up the 30-acre Zakir Rose Garden,including a Museum of Roses, a Moonlight Garden of pure white roses, and ascent garden where roses are bred to be especially high in rose oil, the mostlycostly fragrance made.Roses are not especially easy togrow, for they are attractive to a number of insect and fungal pests. Sprayscan keep pests at bay, but even organic pesticides and fungicides can beunwholesome if eaten. Instead, I use a strong brew of horsetail (Equisetum arvense) - one cup of driedherb brewed for four hours in a quart of boiling water - diluted, a cup at atime in a gallon of rain water, to spray against black spot and other molds.Seeding lawn areas with milky spore is the best control for Japanese beetles,which can eat through a rose bush in minutes it seems.If you enjoy an abundance ofroses, as I do - through no effort on my part, I assure you, for the wild rosesare rampant in my area - you may wish to make rose beads. Natural Rose Beads are sweetly-scented black lumps madeby throwing wilted roses into a cast iron pot and allowing them to rot forseveral months. Before the rose paste dries out, gather it into balls byrolling between your palms, then thread carefully onto a thick string and hangto dry completely. Rose beads will last for decades if thoroughly fermented andcarefully dried.Wild roses have five petals, eachgently notched in the center and arranged in a pretty, open star with a clusterof stamen (the pollen-producing parts) in the center. Cultivated roses havepetals in multiples of five. The five-pointed star is a pentagram, or pentacle,which is, of course, the symbol of magic. The rose, a blooming pentacle, is asmagical as a flower can be.Eating the petals of roses willget you lots of healthy flavonoids and vitamin C, as well as coloring materialsthat contain polyphenols and other heart-healthy,cancer-fighting compounds. If youeat the whole rose, you'll also get allergy-bustingpollen to help get your body in tune with your environment.  Besides sprinkling the petalslavishly in salads and across toast, try making Rose Honey*. Fill any jar to the top with roses and rose petals.Pour honey into the jar, stirring as needed to remove air bubbles, until thejar is full. Cap securely and label. Wait for at least a week before eating.The longer you wait, the better the taste. You can make Rose Hip Honey the same way; be sure to remove all the seeds anditchy hairs from the rose hips before putting them in a jar and adding honey.Rose petal or rose hip honey issplendid on toast, or taken by the spoonful to soothe a sore throat. Toforestall a cold, put a tablespoon of rose honey in a cup, add the juice ofhalf a lemon, then fill the cup with hot water. Roses are especially cherished asa remedy for "women's problems". The growing tips of the rose canesare rich in hormone-like substances that help women with menstrual difficultiesget into an easy flow, those with libido problems to feel frisky, and those whowant to conceive to be more receptive. Rose Hormone Remedy: Harvest leaf and flower buds justbefore they open, preserving with honey, or a mixture of one part glycerin andtwo parts water. The dose is a teaspoonful several times a day.Roses are part of a very largefamily of plants, many of which are medicinal and edible. Raspberry is part ofthe rose family, and raspberry leaf infusion is a fine uterine tonic. Hawthorn,the heart remedy, is also part of this family. As are most of the non-tropicalfruits we enjoy: apples, pears, peaches, and plums, apricots, strawberries,cherries, and blackberries, raspberries, and even almonds. If an apple a day will keep thedoctor away, what will a rose a day do for you? Try it and see! *Note: Do not give honey tobabies under 12 months old. Legal Disclaimer: This content is notintended to replace conventional medical treatment.
