It seems I only felt the thorns,
And so it goes" - Billy Joel

Beautiful poem, and such a beautiful Herb as roses are
.............
Rose petals have an affinity to the heart and can help lift the spirits. They also have an affinity for the blood and, like all Rosaceae family, have a certain astringency that reduces inflammation and stops sweating. Rosewater is great for menopausal hot sweats and summer prickly heat. Use it as a spray to help ease hot flushes and to swiftly freshen up in a waft of glorious rose essence.
So the rose by any other name would not smell as sweet
