Rose buds are generally picked from the damask rose, Rosa damascena, which is the type used for making rose oil and rose water as well due to its heady rose aroma. Roses are hardy deciduous shrubs, which have arching prickly stems. Damask rose plants grow to 2 metres high (7ft) and produce clusters of semi-double fragrant pink flowers. Rosebuds and rose petals are picked in early summer in the morning when they have fullest aroma and flavour and then are either dried or use to make rose oil or rose water. There is very little volatile oil (less than 1%) in rose petals so the aroma and flavour is truly subtle. The flavour of rose petals are floral and perfumed, and altogether very pleasing. Roses and rose water are seldom used in European cooking, although they were very popular in previous centuries. Rose remains, however, a popular ingredient in Arabic cooking and through into India, being known in the UK for its use in flavouring Turkish delight or in ras al hanut, the trendy North African spice mix. In India, ground rose buds are used to marinade kormas or in desserts like rose flavoured kheer. In Tunisia, rose petals are used to flavour roast meats or in couscous recipes and for flavouring meatballs. We find that rose petals work really well with fruits like apricots or carrots and in trice or desserts.
