The question isn't what you can do with Rose, it's what can't you do! Here are a few of our favorite Rose Recipes just for you!

Fill a clean 8oz jar almost full with dried rose petals (freshly dried are best if you can get them).
Cover with your choice of carrier oil; we like apricot kernel or sweet almond. Any organic unscented oil will work well. Be sure your oil covers all the plant material. Label with date and ingredients used (trust us!).
Let your infusing oil sit for 4 weeks... a moon cycle is perfect and magical for you oil.
Shake the oil daily, and then strain through cheesecloth. Store in a clean amber glass jar.
Infused oils can be used alone for massage & skincare; they are also excellent to use in your salves, lotions, on other concoctions calling for oil.

You can adapt this recipe to make a super moisturizing and soothing face balm by removing the beeswax and using jojoba to infuse your rose oil.
