Rachel, thanks so much for this diy! You mentioned if you had oily hair not to use the rose oil. I have very long hair almost to my knees, and oily hair. I oil my hair for 24 hours before washing once a week. I use grape seed oil, coconut oil, or almond oil. I use extracts just for the smell. Oiling long hair keeps the ends very nice and it helps in hair loss due to the combing and all the hair bands I use. I wish I had a freeze dryer or a steam juicer but I think I can do this by just the infusion method with fresh roses. I do have an abundance of roses in my landscape. Love you and all your videos. ❤

Your pleasure over the rose products is really sweet.

I make rose water, boiling petals and use it to make Jelly. In the winter, it's summer time in a jar.

I freeze mine in ice cube trays. Still working on cubes from last year! Love my roses! Thanks for the tips 😊

I collected Hollyhock flowers and added them to my healing salve and I love the gentle scent... never thought of doing roses... thanks for the tip

I love the rose glow! We also make Rosehip honey, yummy vitamin C!

The beautiful smile at the end shows that you are a wild rose too :) I love the smell of flowers, roses in particular. Just can't resist smelling them when walking past some roses. You can also use rosehip flowers (if you don't need the fruits), they smell and feel like roses too and in some places they grow like weeds ;)

Perfect timing. I've been collecting a lot of roses to do all of these things. Now I know how

I grew up with rose flavored Turkish Delight and still love it! It is a jello square similar to Aplets and Cotlets. The boxes came with white and pink squares dusted with powdered sugar (the white squares were lemon flavored) and the pink ones rose flavored candies. May be fun to try.

JOY, this sounds delicious and like a very good idea!

My hair is natural curly and dry I need something to help it. Enjoy your videos love from Virginia.

Oh my gracious, LOVE IT, Rach!!! 🌹👑🙌💗

I started making my own almond extract for baking and cooking. It smells so good!!

Thank you Rachel!! This was fun, and so interesting! I love roses, they are my favorite flower

Hey hey! I’m excited to see this! I love homemade skin care! One day I hope to have a freeze dryer your roses look beautiful!

I'm so excited to try making some rose water and rose oil for gifting! Thank you so much for the video!

Rachel, I've long hair. I can sit on it.... also 61 yrs old now just in the last few months.... I've been drinking more water and adding sea salt with trace minerals. I seen a big change for the better..... works for me

I had rose panacotta on vaction once. It was unbelievably delicious. I would love to make some. The price of good rose water has deterred me from trying. I might have to try making my own from scratch. You are so inspiring! Thank you!

I can't even imagine how great your kitchen smelled when you made that!!! I've seen recipes for citrus salads that have rose water in the dressing. I would love to make some for that purpose. Then again, I love the 1000 roses shampoo and conditioner and daily shad cream from Andalou so I would love it in my skin routine also.

So fun! Love the dog looking out the window! This is a great way to use rose buds that would just fall to the ground! Could you use peonies? When you freeze dry the roses do they lose their scent?

I need your creativity!

I love your Chanel Rachel! I watch all the time and for a couple years now. Awesome content! Heads up on coconut oil it’s not good for your hair. Really. Research it but it isn’t and I wanted to share that w you. Thank you for all your videos! Love you two! 🌺🌺

Just raced out and harvested some rose petals...in the dehydrator as I type this. Thanks..sounds like fun.

I'll have to save this for next year with our wild roses.

Good for sunburns!

Love your videos guys! Ken from MN keep up the great ideas

I love the idea of a homemade rose oil! I’m a manicurist and I make all my own cuticle oils using jojoba oil and essential oils. Just fyi, jojoba oil is the closest to what our body makes naturally so if someone finds coconut oil or olive oil too heavy, definitely try jojoba.

I used to sell younique.Rosewater was one of our skincare products and it looks so easy to make it!

I've made rose hip oil. It works great in my skin serum

I think grinding and putting them in soap is a great idea. The store bought powdered rose petals I’ve bought turn black in cold process soap so I’m very interested how those freeze dried ones work. How did it work out making the cowboy candy with chopping instead of slicing the jalapeños? Did it turn out like you expected? I made my first batch this year but haven’t opened a jar yet. I put cucumber slices in the leftover syrup and they are off the chart delicious! Next batch I plan to chop the jalapeños for relish type is why I’d like to know are you happy with how that turned out. Blessings from Pensacola

Could you use the rose petals from the oils when you make your soaps?

Would you get more fragrance from the rose/oil mixture if you used your wooden pounder to bruise the petals?

My favorite scent. Most people say it reminds them of a funeral parlor but hey, I'm old and so are my friends and relatives so we've spent plenty of time there. Still my favorite fragrance!

Can you dehydrate the rose petals if you don’t have a freeze dryer for these projects.

How doesthe rosewater smell? Just wondering if it has a lovely strong rose scent.

Could you freeze the rosewater if you have too much? Also is this the same rosewater that is used for culinary purposes?? :)xxx

I do, right in ice cube trays, still working on cubes from last season, still smell and work great 😊

Do you have to preserve the oil at all for it to not get mold or go rancid?

When harvesting the roses, is it okay to even harvest the roses that are starting to look ugly? The ones that you should deadhead? Or should they be the freshest newest rose buds and petals?

Can a dehydrated roses work. Don't have freeze dryer or steam juicer.

Would the rose water be usable in baklava?

The Rose oil that you made- do you drain it after 6 to 8 weeks? Then use the oil on your face/hair?

Could you freeze the rose water and just thaw out a little to last for a week or so? If that works we could extend our rose water even further!

Can you use store bought flowers?

Did you dry the roses in a dryer ?

I don't have a steam juicer, what else can I use to make the rose water?

what about letting them bloom on the plant and harvesting the hips for tea ?!?

How long were the roses for rose infused oil dried? Are more than 6-month dried roses still usable?

Thank you for sharing new ideas for me. I am tired of garden tours and Q & A's.

Nice video. Different. Asking for a clarification- you said light olive oil but used extra virgin. Which is better?

@trishanderson1819

11 ай бұрын

I don't know if she's going to come back... but I would definitely use light olive oil because I would think the smell of the extra virgin would overpower the delicate rose scent.

I wonder how peonies would do ? I prefer their scent , although I am not sure they have any medicinal uses.

Can we use it on the face too?

@1870s

I use it every day on my face, as one are sensitive to olive oil so recommend trying topical use before you make it

Can you use any type of roses?

I like to purchase bulk dried roses that are edible (made for tea) online. It works great and you don’t have to worry about the quality. It’s not terribly expensive Do be careful if you pick roses though that you’re not using ones sprayed w pesticides ect. There’s no real way to wash it off effectively because steaming them or infusing them will pull all of the essence out into the liquid good and bad

Is any kind of rose can do these?

Yes

Won't the citric acid impact the pH balance of your skin barrier with continuous use?

Not the tiny amount used

I agree w the amount not effecting it. However higher PH also kills bacteria. So not a bad win even if it did.

Do you use the whole rose or just the petals?

@rebeccayoung9677

You don't ever wash the petals first?

hi puppy 👋🏻

Well now we know why rose water is so expensive.

Nailbrush

It takes 22 pounds of roses to make 5 ml essential rose oil. I’m not sure how much it takes for rose water.

“WOW” Rachel all the things we can make because good hair shampoo & conditioner can be pricey., Everything today is pricey 7-3-2023❤

I am missing something, or i am just getting old, i didn't see any procedure of making the rose water or even infusing the oil. Everything was pre made, so the teaching part failed.

You must have hit fast forward I definitely went through the process of making both

Almost no one will tell you this...if you take 1/8 tsp of coconut oil and spread through your hair, it will grow about two feet in four years! My best friend started using it on her hair and skin in 2019. Her hair is almost to the back of her knees from just below her shoulders. She stopped using hair products like mousse and gel. She stopped using lotions and moisturizers, too. She literally washes her hands and scoops out an 1/8 tsp and uses it instead.

How often does she do this? Does she rinse it afterward?

That math is just natural hair growth without any remedy/supplement. 2 feet in 4 years is 1 foot in 2 years, 6 inches in 1 year, 1/2 inch per month. If you do NOTHING, it will grow this much.
