Rose Petals

(Rosa damascena)

The soft, velvet petals of the Damask rose — the legendary bloom of Persian gardens, prized above all others for its deep, honeyed perfume. Each petal carries a lush, sweet, faintly spiced fragrance that has crowned love and devotion for millennia. Valued for opening the heart and softening the spirit, Rose brings a tender, romantic warmth to teas and ceremonial blends, perfuming the smoke and the cup with gentle, blossoming sweetness.

across time

Tradition & Ritual

The Damask rose has perfumed sacred and amorous rituals from Persia to India, distilled into precious rosewater for temples, weddings, and feasts. Sufi mystics named it the flower of divine love, and across cultures its petals were scattered in ceremonies of union and devotion — a fragrant offering laid wherever the heart was meant to open and beauty honored.

what it offers

Scientific & Medicine

Carrying delicate aromatic oils and gentle astringent compounds, Rose is traditionally associated with calming the heart, soothing the spirit, and cooling inflamed emotions. Herbalists have long valued it as a gentle nervine and skin tonic. In a blend it offers a soft, floral, honeyed sweetness that rounds sharp edges and lends an air of romance and quiet tenderness.

the old stories

Legends & Myths

Born, the Greeks said, from the foam of Aphrodite's sea and stained red by the blood of her beloved Adonis, the rose became the eternal emblem of love and loss. Roman lore wove it into Cupid's bargains, and the phrase sub rosa — beneath the rose — marked secrets spoken in confidence, sworn to silence under its watchful, fragrant bloom.

Bear Originals

Around the fire, a pinch of rose petals turns any blend tender. I love how it perfumes the smoke with something soft and old-world — like a love letter drifting up into the dark. A little goes a long, beautiful way.
