Ive heard using Rose Water (Rose Hydrosol) works great for decreasing under eye puffiness. Ive also heard Preparation H works great for this problem and also for the purple marks under the eyes. Anyone know anything about this?
Where can I get Rose Water? Im not looking for something with 10% or 20%, but want 100% Rose water.
Thanks.
Where can I get Rose Water (for under eye puffiness)? Do grocery stores sell it?
just put a table spoon in the freezer for ten mintues and put them on ur eyes for about 3 minutes that should work
Reply:Yes, preparation H probably works better than rose water. Try the prep h first, I've heard that works wonders.
Reply:Try the healthfood stores

Rose of Jericho Tattoo... real or fictional?
In the book "Until I find you" by John Irving, he talks about a tattoo called the Rose of Jericho. The special thing about the tattoo is that a vagina can been seen in the rose image if you look carefully. I cant figure out if this was made up by Irving or if its real... and Id love to see what it looks like.Anyone have any ideas?
Rose of Jericho Tattoo... real or fictional?
It is both real, and fictional at the same time. Look at any detailed image close enough and long enough for your mind to wander, and you will see all sorts of things.
Reply:All I know is that a rose of jericho is a plant, and none of its parts look like a vagina. *shrug*

Rose Pressing?
My boyfriend gave me a rose on a really special night and I want to press some of the petals. I was just gonna stick it in a book and leave it there for a few weeks but the problems I am having is my rose petals are very much curved and I don't want fold in them (if I can prevent that). I looked on a few web sites and they said zap the petals in the microwave and that really didn't work... because of their curve only the part that touched the bottom dried out. What am I suposed to do?
Rose Pressing?
Using the microwave will work if you wrap a moist towel around the rose and then zap it. Next you'll need something flat with weight and use wax paper with the waxy part toward the pedals.
One other thing may be better is to just hang the entire rose upside down in your closset and allow it to air dry.
Reply:Put tween a couple of peices of wax paper and park the car on it for a while. That'll do it.
Reply:Put your rose petals between two sheets of paper towel, iron them through that starting at the flat side ,being the end closest to the stems.Don't go all the way to the curved part.Then you can put them in the microwave ,between the paper towel on very low power.You don't want to cook them ,only evaporate the moisture. try only a very few seconds and let them sit in between. Another way is much better its not pressing, you put the whole rose bud in silica sand,using a small paint brush to put the sand between the petals.Cover it completely and leave to dry.Your rose will be kept beautiful, but fragile.Keep it in a small glass or plastic box.In love?Great.

Rose experts please. I have a rose bush which at this time of year, grows one or two extremely tall arms?
straight up about 3-4'. What is THAT about. Is that the branch that will produce a rose perhaps. You can tell, I am new at this.
I think last year I may have cut them off so the bush would look more balance.
Rose experts please. I have a rose bush which at this time of year, grows one or two extremely tall arms?
Yes, Tom is correct. That is what my mother called a sucker branch. You should not let them grow. Cut them off down as far as you can. They are called suckers because they suck the life out of the rest of the plant. Watch for them to come back also. Once you get them they will return again. Just keep pruning.
Reply:I agree with the first two posters - you can just remove those canes completely. They're suckers, and all they really do is sap strength from the main plant.
Reply:You might have a climbing variety, which naturally sends out long stems. Or you could have a variety like Mr, Lincoln (large red blooms ) which also tends to send up long stems, especially if it is in the shade. Find out which variety you have. Also, look where the stem attaches to the main stem. If it is from below the graft it could be a break from the root stalk and should be cut off. The flower from the root stalk looks different than the top-growth and commonly has a simple red blossom and different leaves. Get someone from a local rose society or nursery to check it out.
Reply:Those are sucker branches and should be cut off completely.
Reply:Knowing that you don't know what kind of rose you're growing, it's one of two scenarios.
If the rose is a climber, it could be 'normal'. Climbers grow quickly, and don't always bloom off of those tall, long shoots.
One way to be sure is to look at where those stems originate from. If the cane comes from the soil/ root zone, the cane is a sucker and should be cut down to the ground. If they originate from above the graft (a bulbus area at the ground level), then it does belong to the plant, and could produce.
If they are good canes, cut them back by a third, the branching that ocurres might produce flowers.
Give your plants some fertilizer as well... if you don't have a fertilizer you like, try ESPOMA 'rosetone'. It's organic and very good for the roses.
I hope that this helps

Has anyone heard of Rose-Hulman?
I go to Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology in Terre Haute, IN and it seems whenever I talk to my friends at home no one has ever heard of it. Rose is a great school, in fact it was rated as the number one undergraduate school for engineering for the past 7 years in a row. I really like Rose, it's a great school and a very challenging school; but it just annoys me that no one ever seems to have heard of it. I just wondered how many people here on answers have heard of my school and what your opinions of Rose are. Thanks for your responses.
Has anyone heard of Rose-Hulman?
I've heard of it. I used to recruit engineers out of undergraduate programs. In the engineering world, Rose Hulman has a good rep.
Reply:Well, your # 1 ranking is extremely misleading. No one in their right mind would rank Role-Hulman ahead of schools like MIT, CalTech, Berkeley, Cornell, etc. for engineering. It has ranked # 1 for schools without a master's or doctoral program.
It's not a bad school by any means, it's just not as good as the top engineering schools. It has an average SAT score of about 1300 (ACT of 29), nearly 200 points less than MIT or CalTech.
Prestige-wise, you already seem to know it is not a very well-known school, even to those "in the know." Most people that I know that applied to Rose-Hulman did so as a safety option. It is a safety school for people applying to the big name engineering programs (no offense!).
Reply:I've heard of it but only because a friend of mine from high school goes there. Everyone thought she was crazy for choosing that school since it was previously unheard of. My friend is really smart though, so I'd assume it must be a good school. I had no idea that it had such a good undergrad engineering program. You would think it should get more attention.
Reply:I live in Nottingham England and i ahve heard of your college.
http://www.rose-hulman.edu
There you go you not ignored or unheard of
Reply:Heard of it, applied, got accepted, went to Purdue
Reply:I have a friend who graduated from Rose-Hulman, but I hadn't heard of it when he told me - and he was offended too. It's a school that just isn't well-known outside of the midwest. It is, as you said, ranked #1 in all of the major engineering disciplines, but it's not well-known for that because that ranking is among engineering schools with no graduate program, so it's ranked separately from MIT et al.
Reply:Nope, never heard of it. But it is on wikipedia.org:
Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology (abbreviated RHIT), formerly Rose Polytechnic Institute, is a private non-sectarian college. RHIT specializes in teaching engineering, mathematics, and science and is highly regarded for its undergraduate engineering program. Its 295 acre campus is located in Terre Haute, Indiana.

Can all rose flower varieties be used as Rose tea?
yes but might find some taste better than others
Reply:You just use the rose hips.
Reply:I haven't used rose petals myself for tea, but if I did, I would make sure they are organic.
I often use rosehips for tea. I get organic in that as well.
More than the kind of rose, it is more important to know if it is pesticide free and food-safe.
If you don't have rose petals, you can always fragrance a tea with a few drops of rose water, which you can buy at may ethnic grocers or large markets.

Reply:Rose Hip Jelly
This is a recipe that comes from the Yukon Territory, but rosehips grow anywhere roses grow. You will lose a lot of the beneficial vitmin C when you boil this, but you still get the wonderful taste of the rosehips! Adapted from FoodService Recipes. What a great gift this would make!
8 cups rose hips
water
7 1/2 cups sugar
1/2 teaspoon margarine or butter
1 (3 3/8 ounce) envelope liquid pectin (Certo)
Remove the blossom remnant from the rose hips.
Bring the rose hips and enough water to cover them to a boil and simmer for about 10 minutes.
Crush the rose hips or chop in a food processor.
Strain the juice in a cheesecloth-lined sieve.
Add any additional water if need to bring the juice up to 4 cups.
Bring the juice and sugar to a boil.
Add the margarine, then the liquid pectin.
Bring back to a boil, stirring constantly; boil hard for 1 minute.
Remove from heat.
Skim foam from surface.
Pour into sterile pint jars and seal.
Process in boiling water bath for 5 minutes.
There are lots of different rose jelly recipes out there...I would say pick some and try them....
Reply:You pick about 5 dozens roses from the garden.... You pick off all the petals, try to pick only the very best petals off the rose....Then put them in a zip lock plastic bag....take them to your bedroom....and sprinkle the petals on top of your bed....Then you and I lay on top of them....making hot passionate love....I am sure after we are done...there will be alot of Rose Jelly on your bed....XXOO
Reply:I was a chef and we made it quite often, make sure the roses you use have not be sprayed with pesticides, it is a simple recipe, I make it like tea, I mkae up my sugar syrup and steep the rose petals in it over night then reboil it and then add my pectin powder or liquid, if you use rose water or syrup it is a one step thing, just the syrup the flavour and then the pectin.
It all depends on how much you want to make, a recipe is only good if you have the petals or the flavours to start, it is a simple as making straberry or peach jam without the mess, a touch of lemon juice is nice the brighten up the flavour.
