Wild Rose or Nootka Rose, rosa nutkana, also known as prickly rose, bristly rose, dog rose among other names, are found throughout ancient literature and art and have been used to symbolize a variety of meaning. They are often associated with romance, devotion and true love as well as symbolizing peace and beauty. Rose is known to hold the highest vibrational frequency of all plant life and have long been associated with the feminine mysteries. 

​

Wild roses have played significant roles in ancient folklore. In Greek mythology, it is said that the goddess Aphrodite created the wild rose as a symbol of beauty and love. Legend has it; a rose bush grew within the pool of spilled blood from Adonis, Aphrodite’s lover. This can be interpreted in a few different ways; however, the most common is in reference to the wild rose as a symbol of immortal love or a union that will never fade – not by time, nor by death. In Norse mythology, the goddess Freya was believed to carry the wild rose with her as protection in battle. In Medieval times as well as Christianity, roses became a symbol of power. A rose bush is said to have grown at the site of Christ’s death, associated the red rose, specifically, with Christ’s blood, and the thorns of the wild rose, symbolizing the ultimate sacrifice. In many cultures, wild rose flowers are also associated with fairies and other magical creatures. 

 

Wild Rose's delicate nature reminds us to appreciate the simple things in life and to recognize beauty in the world around us. As a flower essence, wild rose is useful for those who feel hardened or heavy in their heart. Supporting the softening of the tissues around the heart (emotionally, energetically + physically), helping to release the weight of the world or past emotional burdens. Wild rose invites us to embrace our tenderness when life's thorns have proven to be sharp and welcomes us into a loving, nurturing and compassionate space. This essence can also support us with reawakening our interest in life, invoking a gentle increase in passion and inspiration. Let us welcome Wild Rose as the gatekeeper of our treasure-chested hearts.

Flower Essences (FE) are a form of botanical, homeopathic medicine. A liquid extract that essentially contains the energetic blueprint or signature of the flowering part of a plant. Flower essences carry the distilled wisdom + gifts that each flower has to share with the world through capturing the energetic essence, sacred geometry and resonance harmony of the flower into a water matrix.

Flower Essences are medicine of the Heart + Spirit.

It is the flower essence's subtlety and simplicity that make these medicines so potent. Working with FE requires an opening in our thinking beyond the materialistic assumptions of more and stronger are better. They invite us into presence with gentleness, sensitivity and receptivity to life and it's flourishing potential. FE function beyond the limits of the symptomatic approach of the modern medical system, they are not merely remedies to fix emotional symptoms, rather they serve as catalysts for awareness, transformation and connection.
