It is also one of the most accessible tools that can be used for everyday magic.<br /><div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhevdtUGzD3su4pZ1Xbdqf3NROb0bQwlZ7fbhIJJLmrVChVa_58n3e3kf3_9ShBRzI56S5j6O6ZmNvJDpQJPHkJVWqbathzBsEyz11fCmzz_CHkIwEQ0v9h264jH0yzIEuljzxpUrUtJLc/s1600-h/6AB35621E7FC47A481563F1FF6801C8B.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 90px; height: 90px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhevdtUGzD3su4pZ1Xbdqf3NROb0bQwlZ7fbhIJJLmrVChVa_58n3e3kf3_9ShBRzI56S5j6O6ZmNvJDpQJPHkJVWqbathzBsEyz11fCmzz_CHkIwEQ0v9h264jH0yzIEuljzxpUrUtJLc/s320/6AB35621E7FC47A481563F1FF6801C8B.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5305392415131086578" border="0" /></a>The gift of a rose is also one of the simplest ways to say, "I love you" without too much hocus-pocus. The thorns on its stems represent the "prick" of love and the overcoming of obstacles to achieve your desires. It is the pinnacle of metaphorical purity and symbolizes completion and perfection.<br /> <br />The element associated with the rose is Water, so it is particularly friendly to the astrological signs of Pisces, Cancer and Scorpio. Both Mercury and Venus rule this flower. A bath in rose petals or rose water (which is distilled from the buds) is said to attract love to the bathing beauty.<br /> <br />An ancient custom is to sprinkle the bed of newly weds with rose petals to sweeten the initial carnal relations. In ancient alchemical formulas the red rose is used as a masculine principle and the rose represents the feminine or receptive principle. The combination of the two (perhaps growing the two bushes intertwined in the garden) represents harmony and unity.<br /> <br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjm10sPE-I71DQUwWRRlt1yPXp0VBLFtODPrbkQwHuYCDmsKxKQGvikE84FhYf5zOVVMbjgz1CrYz0O4VUUDWlZtAWBgXKO-Fu4ynLtcHrES_cMV_acLIkHDQOZiQW3vk5jpteJOnSsRIU/s1600-h/3BFDC884D8C649EA93D1DBD4213105E7.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 90px; height: 90px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjm10sPE-I71DQUwWRRlt1yPXp0VBLFtODPrbkQwHuYCDmsKxKQGvikE84FhYf5zOVVMbjgz1CrYz0O4VUUDWlZtAWBgXKO-Fu4ynLtcHrES_cMV_acLIkHDQOZiQW3vk5jpteJOnSsRIU/s320/3BFDC884D8C649EA93D1DBD4213105E7.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5305392413224242514" border="0" /></a>Rose oil, which is extracted through a rather expensive process from the petals of the flower, is also prominent in both love and healing rituals. When applied the temples the oil is said to cure a headache. When applied to the thighs or breasts it is supposed to attract a suitor. As an essential oil, the rose's essence is thought to relieve depression, PMS and postnatal depression.<br /> <br /> It is also said to cure frigidity and impotence. Bach's Herbal Remedies makes a distillation of the Wild Rose.<br /> <br />Taking drops of this under your tongue is thought to help the patient free themselves from a rut or feelings of hopelessness and being trapped by fate. Rose water is used in cooking spells and added to curries and cake mixes to infuse the dish with good spirits and love attracting qualities. The water is also splashed on the skin (but not around the eyes) to give you a complexion as dewy as the flower.<br /> <br />The rose historically also symbolizes the female genitalia and is associated with Cupid, Eros, Adonis, Aphrodite, Isis, Hathor, and Demeter. Rose water and rose petals are often used in magical rituals to honor these gods and goddesses.<br /> <br />Although red roses are traditionally seen as symbols of lust, love and the flower also has a long association with such qualities as purity, compassion and divine perfection. The white rose in particular has an affinity with the Virgin Mary and the Holy Spirit.<br /> <br />The color of the rose is also significant. Red roses symbolize love, sex and passion. Pink roses suggest friendship, joy, gratitude and fun. Yellow roses can symbolize enthusiasm, but according to some folklore, the yellow rose can symbolize deception or "the perfect crime." Orange roses signify enthusiasm, passion and a lust for life. White roses are symbolic of significant landmarks in life (such as death, birth and marriage), unconditional love, purity and innocence.<br /> <br />The flower is not the only part of the rose that is used in divination and magic. To discover their romantic future, women used to take pluck three green rose leaves and name one after each of their suitors. The one that stayed green the longest was her soulmate. Rose hips can be strung like beads on a thread and worn as a necklace to attract love. Drinking rose-hip tea is thought to increase one's powers of prophecy.<br /> <br />Ironically, for a flower that is often given as a gift, the most powerful roses are said to be those that have been stolen from another person's garden.</div>Master timinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17627596960246327601noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8839410431379502965.post-51291419225638738932009-05-01T19:01:00.000-07:002009-04-30T15:32:49.284-07:00Skin Care With Rose Oils<div style="text-align: justify;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBLIA-UpOeeHpniBNujlaoKjbWXqqCIyZzuPqKQVIChqkXIlcZzAB7Fve2j6uNOD8Aa_ftvbGR8yQ_XU8vKrBlb8o_hUQntpa6Mlb5pVDWq990-STDBs4kaTgN05dqKcm77S2e5YmsKzo/s1600-h/2259026.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 143px; height: 183px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBLIA-UpOeeHpniBNujlaoKjbWXqqCIyZzuPqKQVIChqkXIlcZzAB7Fve2j6uNOD8Aa_ftvbGR8yQ_XU8vKrBlb8o_hUQntpa6Mlb5pVDWq990-STDBs4kaTgN05dqKcm77S2e5YmsKzo/s320/2259026.jpg" alt="Gambar Hot yulia perez" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5316941128378277970" border="0" /></a>For centuries the rose has been associated with feminine beauty and hence skin care. Bulgarian pure rose oil is a top note essential oil. Its frequency is extremely high and rapid. Rose oil has the highest frequency (320 Hertz) of all the essential oils on the planet. This in itself is an important factor. It means that the fragrant molecules of the rose oil, on inhalation or application, are able to quickly penetrate and travel the infinitesimal pathways of the body, rapidly energising every cell, bringing balance, harmony and beauty to the body. more info>><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8vHp_1T62hw25Ugt0BO4fUzeTRYwByLXVdJBCKvLOj_DgXX2mRbNyec-W4MxQu7ahN-cTbWENHRBZmYYoMr1AkX-ZWFcbdGomEkZd5DR-Gs-Tb3w3BF1QtJsAz5SI8hkKI6mqjjs_0lk/s1600-h/beautycreambox.gif"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 147px; height: 146px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8vHp_1T62hw25Ugt0BO4fUzeTRYwByLXVdJBCKvLOj_DgXX2mRbNyec-W4MxQu7ahN-cTbWENHRBZmYYoMr1AkX-ZWFcbdGomEkZd5DR-Gs-Tb3w3BF1QtJsAz5SI8hkKI6mqjjs_0lk/s320/beautycreambox.gif" alt="Yulia perez bugil" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5316940571058726018" border="0" /></a>Rose essential oil has a long history in folk remedies, especially in the area of skin care. It is suitable for all skin types, but it is especially valuable for dry, sensitive or aging skins. It has a tonic and astringent effect on the capillaries just below the skin surface, which makes it useful in diminishing the redness caused by enlarged capillaries. It is important to ensure that the product you use contains the genuine rose essential oil. Many manufacturers label their products containing rose essence but it could be synthetic. Synthetic rose ingredients have no therapeutic value at all! Remember, with authentic rose otto, a little goes a long way.</div>Master timinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17627596960246327601noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8839410431379502965.post-89491417179029519762009-04-18T15:13:00.000-07:002009-04-17T01:48:12.852-07:00Magical Use of Rose Oil<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOE3-0HevqXz_3IqBZ-96k774IpnBQnmg3E-qA3zcP5KhAgUpa3vdBL2SNvowZOB87axzpG5CB9pbAchGBBfwZ6MkolcvsWnsYknDb6m1KCaVGKYPBOsb8w6uyIeA6hM8x6WRWFGKx6sY/s1600-h/rose_water_homekeeping.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 175px; height: 211px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOE3-0HevqXz_3IqBZ-96k774IpnBQnmg3E-qA3zcP5KhAgUpa3vdBL2SNvowZOB87axzpG5CB9pbAchGBBfwZ6MkolcvsWnsYknDb6m1KCaVGKYPBOsb8w6uyIeA6hM8x6WRWFGKx6sY/s400/rose_water_homekeeping.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5305394115027630082" border="0" /></a>The Rose is a Goddess herb belonging to Venus and the Water element.

Aromatherapy is an ancient practice that began when people of early civilizations began discovering the healing properties of plants. </p> <p>The term "aromatherapy" was first used by René-Maurice Gattefossé, a French chemist in 1928. Gattefossé was working in his family's Operfumier business when he accidentally discovered that lavender caused a severe burn on his hand to heal more rapidly and without scarring. Another of his observations was that essential oils in their whole state were more effective than synthetics or any of the isolated active ingredients of the oils. Another French scientist, Dr. Jean Valnet used essential oils to successfully treat both medical and psychiatric disorders. The first actual aromatherapy clinics were established in Paris, Britain, and Switzerland by Madame Marguerite Maury.</p> <p>Essential oils are not oils as we generally think of oils. Most of them have a very light texture and evaporate quickly. Essential oils are found in all the various parts of plants including the bark, roots, leaves, flowers, seed, wood, resin, and balsam. Some plants produce rather large quantities of oil, some have very low content. Take for example one of the most popular oils, rose. There is so little aromatic content in rose flowers that it a ton of petals produces only 10.5 ounces (300g) of rose oil. It's important to note that essential oils should virtually never be applied directly to the skin until mixed in a carrier oil. Carrier oils are pure gentle oils, such as sweet almond oil and apricot kernel oil that "carry" the essence to the skin.</p> <p>Today, essential oils are extracted from the plants used for aromatherapy, making them very concentrated. The two basic ways aromatherapy is accomplished is by applying the oils to the skin and by inhalation. The term "aromatherapy" can be a bit misleading because it's not only the aroma that is therapeutic. The oils also interact with body chemistry directly, thus affecting certain systems and organs. </p> <p><strong>Recipes:</strong></p> <p>To treat irregular periods - mix the rose oil in a carrier oil and massage the abdomen and lower back daily.<br />To treat depression - inhale, or use a rose oil in a carrier oil to massage the chest, neck and face.</p></td> </tr> <tr align="justify"> <td class="alotto"><p><span class="alotto1"><strong>Rose Oil Warnings</strong></span><br /><br />Rose oils are for external use only. Keep rose oils away from children. Avoid eye contact. Do not use rose oils during pregnancy. Rose oils are not intended to diagnose, cure, prevent or treat any disease. Familiarize with pure essential oils before use.</p></td></tr></tbody></table>Master timinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17627596960246327601noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8839410431379502965.post-22313962424866081182009-02-17T02:59:00.000-08:002009-02-16T14:38:24.212-08:00The Magic of Humus<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2aC87XH7qN3TboznChIqgx39fyaWdO9b_2rwwK2_Yd7XGWanSzCEl2pRcKpCzGnzaCDwiXhpmi8noBUrPFm0lqBZ1Y8_Dxr3btNt-wBlQgoXosYpfAnMHtuh2v54SMlPPFnHhPuwMkaE/s1600-h/rose20071.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5215014899689663618" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; width: 400px; height: 199px; text-align: center;" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2aC87XH7qN3TboznChIqgx39fyaWdO9b_2rwwK2_Yd7XGWanSzCEl2pRcKpCzGnzaCDwiXhpmi8noBUrPFm0lqBZ1Y8_Dxr3btNt-wBlQgoXosYpfAnMHtuh2v54SMlPPFnHhPuwMkaE/s400/rose20071.jpg" border="0" height="185" width="400" /></a> If your soil is out of the correct pH range, you can change it. This is where the magic of soil biology creates miracles. Humus is the magic formula for most soil problems. Humus, which you can create by composting with compost bins, will help improve your soil pH. It will also improve soil that is too sandy, has too much clay, or has other problems.<br />If your soil is extremely acid, which can happen in an area with heavy rainfall, or soil that has had overdoses of chemical N-P-K fertilizer, you may need to add limestone to “sweeten” the soil.<br />For most other soil problems, humus is the answer. You may not have humus available. If that is the case, don’t worry. We will discuss how mulching can help your roses. For more information on composting, see the Composting Guide.<br />You can create compost with plant clippings and other yard debris, rather than throwing them away. They will provide you with a continuous supply of humus in the future.<br />You should be careful if you decide to purchase compost. Many compost products are not fully composted and are still too ‘hot’ for your garden.<br />Organic fertilizers should be added during the growing cycle. You can even find special organic rose fertilizer that is designed specifically with rose gardening in mind.Master timinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17627596960246327601noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8839410431379502965.post-70577016149363257712009-02-08T20:32:00.000-08:002009-02-04T16:44:59.186-08:00Herbal Teas-2<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxwscSUwCeJVlD3BMBxpKYqIARh1vhsFlOIJ3kPS2JQUFcuDhqG6BO7dz2nrzd2Kny9GVKR4SSP-_YgDSDruc1-1XWv4hwPCt5NqS3qfwF0pU693jYbfs8Sp9VTD9a2IbzH_WNDYaUycE/s1600-h/flowering.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5224565351767263602" style="margin: 0px 10px 10px 0px; float: left;" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxwscSUwCeJVlD3BMBxpKYqIARh1vhsFlOIJ3kPS2JQUFcuDhqG6BO7dz2nrzd2Kny9GVKR4SSP-_YgDSDruc1-1XWv4hwPCt5NqS3qfwF0pU693jYbfs8Sp9VTD9a2IbzH_WNDYaUycE/s400/flowering.jpg" border="0" /></a>There is nothing more satisfying and enjoyable than the fresh taste of a hand crafted, loose-leaf herbal tea.

Put 1-3 tablespoons of cut herb, seed, root, bark, etc into a pot of 16-32 oz of water and allow to sit in non-boiled water for at least 5-10 minutes. Set on stove and bring to a slow boil then turn down to a simmer for 10-30 minutes. Strain and drink. Will keep about 72 hours if kept refrigerated. Most decoctions can also be brewed via single cup through a regular infusion process as noted above but without the strength.Master timinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17627596960246327601noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8839410431379502965.post-2857177521458835072009-02-05T02:57:00.000-08:002009-02-04T16:42:57.001-08:00How Much To Water Roses<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzh8i1IFcrdabgw6vqQPlhLpfTNOcaTq1kt_rPuAWIWRLU_RmgmqWiniMt7U7BbOJkJn18CS6H7sj7-c7q4GVqRqJQRp-KSMGVstCcGosv_yVF6gAH1FWHh5qxnwG6oeGS31tQZ815Lto/s1600-h/climb-rose-Sm.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzh8i1IFcrdabgw6vqQPlhLpfTNOcaTq1kt_rPuAWIWRLU_RmgmqWiniMt7U7BbOJkJn18CS6H7sj7-c7q4GVqRqJQRp-KSMGVstCcGosv_yVF6gAH1FWHh5qxnwG6oeGS31tQZ815Lto/s400/climb-rose-Sm.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5215014272049860242" border="0" /></a>Roses like a lot of water during the growing and blooming season. But this doesn't mean give them a small amount every day. Like with watering other plants, it is better to water deeply rather than just a little bit at a time, so that the water can fully penetrate the roots. Just sprinkling them with the hose is not enough.<br />Let the hose give your roses a full, thorough soaking. A good four or five gallons worth of water per rose bush is a basic rule of thumb. Depending on how much rain your garden gets, a deep watering once a week is usually enough even in drier parts of the country. If it is extremely hot and dry, perhaps every four days or so.<br />Avoid watering during the heat of the day in direct sunlight. Early morning and late afternoon are the best times to water.Master timinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17627596960246327601noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8839410431379502965.post-87100547136495732792009-01-02T20:27:00.000-08:002009-01-02T03:56:18.969-08:00Flowering Teas<div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiu3O4cDnDivzdNNJvZGRrvhwsI5icjx7Q_wDUikFCDYfUGQ_pIibgKyaYZtZSW90vUVbyg22ayfFtWxcsTKUDC1Gn1K1eG7h1ZuvEwpnENoW2XcKYPkjd01K4tkQ6Jwb9Kf0vdRBfq-X0/s1600-h/nav_button_edu.gif"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5224562244522948978" style="margin: 0px 10px 10px 0px; float: left;" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiu3O4cDnDivzdNNJvZGRrvhwsI5icjx7Q_wDUikFCDYfUGQ_pIibgKyaYZtZSW90vUVbyg22ayfFtWxcsTKUDC1Gn1K1eG7h1ZuvEwpnENoW2XcKYPkjd01K4tkQ6Jwb9Kf0vdRBfq-X0/s400/nav_button_edu.gif" border="0" height="89" width="150" /></a>Wonderful, captivating and engaging; flowering teas transform the simple act of drinking tea by producing an aesthetically rich experience full of color and vibrancy. Hand-sewn flowering teas are produced in remote tea gardens in southwestern Yunnan province in China near the borders of Laos and Vietnam. White, green and black teas are picked in the early mornings. While damp, the tea leaves are flattened and sewn with cotton thread into the various shapes and bundles. (Tea leaves may also be scented with jasmine blossoms before sewing begins for a more floral flavor.) Some shapes take about one minute to sew while other more elaborate designs may take up to 10 minutes. While still moist, the leaves are shaped into balls, mushrooms, cones, etc, and finally, the teas go through the usual drying, oxidation and firing process which closes the process and provides the finished product.The line of flowering teas and our tea sampler come beautifully packaged in a recycled content canister, making them ideal and convenient gifts.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpoWC0CALBMHx0026bhg7lCC-0IBWeNCvsEzk2PGx0WE4PG-XLJYam55SRJsbTrK_XKrV1eMwh2q2VnX_MiAcfndZmwxPNdD5TldZ1na5VrR0Nu8B7Zs5-iGH-3ILq3XlNvhXo6R2f3SQ/s1600-h/flowering.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5224562247930772978" style="margin: 0px 10px 10px 0px; float: left;" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpoWC0CALBMHx0026bhg7lCC-0IBWeNCvsEzk2PGx0WE4PG-XLJYam55SRJsbTrK_XKrV1eMwh2q2VnX_MiAcfndZmwxPNdD5TldZ1na5VrR0Nu8B7Zs5-iGH-3ILq3XlNvhXo6R2f3SQ/s400/flowering.jpg" border="0" height="301" width="312" /></a> Steeping Instructions: Place one Flowering Tea in a teapot (a clear glass teapot is recommended so you may watch it unfurl). Bring water to a low boil and pour over tea. The tea leaves will unfurl and the tea flower will slowly open. Allow to steep 2-3 minutes, or to desired strength.After enjoying the first pot, a Flowering Tea may be re-steeped 2-3 more times. The tea you make should be decanted into teacups within a short period of time so that leaves do not remain in hot water, which would adversely affect the fine taste of this tea. Please note that above estimations are based upon a teapot which holds 18-20 ounces.</div>Master timinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17627596960246327601noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8839410431379502965.post-52857773679311219472008-12-09T02:40:00.000-08:002009-03-21T06:33:17.644-07:00ROSE GARDENING TIPS<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_-wG3BcDNLlFegBBTBLEeYN5oMxFiaPoHeDi98ZePh2M4vgwNzRO2J0wK300hrjzPLeKjD-Te9QezY3toKzvKXOdPOvuRDLcpoEmxZYhR-poGy05mmg_Fogp0o7kmSjKcAOTR22CJNR4/s1600-h/rose_harvest_friend4.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5215010145556592146" style="margin: 0px 10px 10px 0px; float: left;" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_-wG3BcDNLlFegBBTBLEeYN5oMxFiaPoHeDi98ZePh2M4vgwNzRO2J0wK300hrjzPLeKjD-Te9QezY3toKzvKXOdPOvuRDLcpoEmxZYhR-poGy05mmg_Fogp0o7kmSjKcAOTR22CJNR4/s320/rose_harvest_friend4.jpg" border="0" /></a>Hybrid tea roses or grandifloras are best for classical long stem roses, but floribundas, shrubs, or climbing roses are a better choice if you want your rose garden to bloom continually.<br />Climbers on a trellis can create an amazing display of color or hide an unsightly shed.<br />Roses need well-drained soil. If you have clay, or other soil that doesn’t drain, you may have to create a drain line or plant your roses in a raised bed.<br />Don’t forget mulch. Mulching around your roses and other plants will make them very happy and reduce pathogen problems.<br />Purchase hardy roses that are resistant to infestation. These are often the older varieties. You will also find that sturdy varieties vary from region to region. Check with local organic gardening associations to find out what works best in your specific area and under your specific conditions.<br />Instead of planting your roses in even rows, you can stagger them. By staggering them, you get more roses in a small space without crowing them.Master timinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17627596960246327601noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8839410431379502965.post-5822805465563811792008-12-05T02:49:00.000-08:002008-12-04T22:20:44.767-08:00Companion Plants Rose GardeningOnce you have decided on the roses you like, you need to learn about companion plants. Roses really do love garlic, as well as other plants of the onion family. Onions are of the order Asparaginales and family Alliaceae. The onion family is made up of 500 species.<br />Although planting garlic in your rose garden will help protect your roses, there are many other onion varieties that will protect your roses and also provide beautiful flowers to enhance your roses. Marigolds, mignonettes, and thyme are also good companions for roses.<br />When you are deciding on companion plants for roses, check to see when they bloom. Other characteristics, such as texture and height, should also be<br />considered before deciding on your companion plants.<br />An excellent book on companion planting is Roses Love Garlic by Louise Riotte. Here's an interesting link about companion planting.Master timinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17627596960246327601noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8839410431379502965.post-89094092865242629772008-11-18T01:10:00.000-08:002008-11-18T01:10:26.262-08:00apaikuMaster timinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17627596960246327601noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8839410431379502965.post-32286755865328684982008-09-01T07:25:00.000-07:002008-08-29T16:03:31.812-07:00HOW NATURE WORKS<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhecjJqWyNqIy2uTH3-C8rxcsmfyeBQ4q1SGEprxVhjDcjsoKyIf_4WxeHGECP8UeRyv2VjukwXB2Hxt_0sk1nAxwCCPMcnA-OO6zu624BK5geqGIMMLtzt0ndNPjTNX-OBLeCrnWZe_8I/s1600-h/PerfumeBeauty2.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5215083936230948066" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhecjJqWyNqIy2uTH3-C8rxcsmfyeBQ4q1SGEprxVhjDcjsoKyIf_4WxeHGECP8UeRyv2VjukwXB2Hxt_0sk1nAxwCCPMcnA-OO6zu624BK5geqGIMMLtzt0ndNPjTNX-OBLeCrnWZe_8I/s320/PerfumeBeauty2.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div>Whether it is roses, other <a href="http://www.flowergardeningtips.com/">flower gardening</a>, or just about any type of plant, the secret to successful organic gardening of any kind is to understand the way nature works. Nature always tries to maintain a delicate balance. By understanding the basics of how plants grow, you will understand how to maintain nature’s balance and thus keep your roses healthy.<br />Basically, water and nutrients are absorbed into the root system and pulled up through the stems into the green leaves by the process of photosynthesis.Photosynthesis is a plant process that uses water and energy from the sun to convert carbon dioxide into carbohydrates that it uses for growth and other plant functions.<br />The carbohydrates are stored in the branches and stems of roses, trees, and other plants. These stored carbohydrates are used as reserve energy for the plant. When a crises occurs, such as a broken stem or pathogenic attack, the stored carbohydrates are used. Stored carbohydrates are also used in the spring to create new stems and foliage.<br />A natural soil environment teems with bacteria, fungi, nematodes, earthworms, and other soil organisms. Many of these soil organisms break down dead leaves and other materials into humus, which enriches the soil. Other soil organisms form symbiotic relationships with roses and other plants.<br />A symbiotic relationship is a relationship that is beneficial to all participants in the relationship. Mycorrhizal fungus creates an important symbiotic relation with roses and other plants. Mycorrhiza attaches itself to the roots of your roses and other plants. It uses some of the carbohydrates stored by your plants to grow, but helps your roses and other plants by making minerals more available. In a healthy soil environment, the mycorrhizae attached to one of your roses will grow and become interconnected to the mycorrhizae of other roses and plants. In effect, it provides a secondary root system for your garden plants.<br />Roses and other plants also release exudates from their roots that attract beneficial organisms. As an example, exudates from rose roots attract friendly bacterium that ward off pathogenic fungi.<br />Beneficial soil organisms, which are found in natural humus and compost, also make minerals more available to your roses and other plants. Beneficial soil organisms also help protect roses and other plants from predatory life forms.<br />Another important thing to understand is that plants of all kinds are a little bit like humans—some get along very well and some don’t. Some plants grow well together and actually help each other survive. Other plants inhibit neighboring plants. Plants that grow well together are referred to as companion plants. Companion plants are an important factor in any garden. We will talk more about them later.<br />Organic growers recognize that pathogenic attacks are an indication that the plant or plants are out of balance. Organic growers know that pathogens can’t get a foothold on a healthy plant.<br />Commonly used chemical fertilizers, herbicides, and pesticides destroy soil organisms and throw roses, flowers, and other plants out of balance. The imbalance created by these chemicals attracts pathogens.<br />Our meddling also creates havoc in roses and other plants. Over-pruning reduces carbohydrate storage, throws the plant out of balance, and often opens the door to pathogens. Hybridization often creates weaker plants. The practice of grafting rose stems onto a different root stock often creates roses that are susceptible to pathogenic attacks. </div>Master

border="0" /></a>Benefits of Buying Organic</strong><br />1. Chemical free food/herbs. (Need we say more?)<br />2. Natural sustainable agriculture. (Organic crops build healthy soil through crop rotation, using composting methods, and relying on natural cycles of life to help reap bountiful harvests)<br />3. Farm worker safety. (Non-organic harvesters are directly exposed to agricultural chemicals. Adding enormous health risks, skin irritations, lung degeneration, and several known cancers. Organic harvesters need not worry about this)<br />4. Reduced pollution. (Organic agriculture avoids substances that contribute toair, water, and soil pollution and it does not contribute to the problem of chemical manufacturing and waste disposal)<br />5. Our bodies will thank us!<br /><br /><strong>Some Interesting Facts Concerning Pesticides</strong><br />1. The EPA estimates that US sales of pesticides in 2000-2001 exceeded $11 billion dollars, thus representing over 2 billion pounds of pesticides being dumped on U.S. farm soil, homes, gardens, schools, golf courses and more. This number is about 8 pounds for every man, woman and child in the entire country.<br />2. There are over 21,000 different pesticides on the U.S. market containing over 875 active compounds. Many of these have been proven to have health implications and the others are unknown.<br />3. In the study, "Food and the Environment: A Consumer's Perspective," 86 percent of respondents said they believe there is a connection between the health of the environment and their own well-being.<br />4. Since 1945, total U.S. crop losses from insect damage have nearly doubled. During the same time, insecticide use has increased tenfold. Today, seventy-one known carcinogenic pesticides are sprayed on food crops. (In Harmony's report, "Pesticides: Losing Their Effectiveness")<br />5. EPA estimates that there are approximately 20,000 physician diagnosed pesticide poisonings each year among agricultural workers. These are only thee ones which have been reported.<br />6. The EPA reports that Americans ingest and are exposed to over 167 times more dioxin every day than the acceptable daily level.<br />7. According to the U.S. General Accounting Office, only 1% of all imported fruits and vegetables are tested by the Food and Drug Administration for illegal pesticide residues.<br />8. The CDC has gone on record as stating… “Pesticides are toxic to life forms by their very design”<br /><br /><strong>Use At Least 10% Organic For A Better World</strong><br />Here are some statistics concerning the incorporation of organic products into our own lifestyles which we find to be faithful and staggering.By converting at least 10% of your food, fiber and cosmetic purchases you will;<br />Eliminate pesticides from 98 million daily U.S. servings of drinking water.<br />Assure 20 million daily servings of milk that are produced without antibiotics & genetically modified growth hormones.<br />Assure 53 million daily servings of pesticide-free fruit and vegetables. (Enough for 10 million kids to have five daily servings.)<br />Eliminate use of growth hormones, genetically engineered drugs and feeds, and 2.5 million pounds of antibiotics used on livestock annually. (More than twice the amount of antibiotics used to treat human infections.)<br />Assure that 915 million animals are treated more humanely.<br />Fight climate change by capturing an additional 6.5 billion pounds of carbon in soil. (That's the equivalent of taking 2 million cars, each averaging 12,000 miles per year, off the road.)<br />Eliminate 2.9 billion barrels of imported oil annually. (Equal to 406,000 Olympic eight-lane competition pools.)<br />Restore 25,800 square miles of degraded soils to rich, highly productive cropland. (An amount of land equal to the size of West Virginia.)</div>Master timinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17627596960246327601noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8839410431379502965.post-5812551278078599382008-07-22T20:46:00.000-07:002008-07-22T20:46:00.730-07:00Mountain Rose Herb<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimcWFQZ-swTqxzNyVaC5YNClhjR0srPCFfrVpwe80ZsL1i5sRktho_TyfMOqOns2A4kJbYU2SEMupiZ3r9OJtoHmAPrs9DfA39QsOYssNRZiKDBDt5kmu3ZwoHCQCFqYkfxyVhaLwsSpI/s1600-h/woman_scythe.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5224567611509558946" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimcWFQZ-swTqxzNyVaC5YNClhjR0srPCFfrVpwe80ZsL1i5sRktho_TyfMOqOns2A4kJbYU2SEMupiZ3r9OJtoHmAPrs9DfA39QsOYssNRZiKDBDt5kmu3ZwoHCQCFqYkfxyVhaLwsSpI/s400/woman_scythe.jpg" border="0" /></a>At Mountain Rose Herbs we are proud to be the nations largest retailer of certified organic herbal products. In fact, we believe that when it comes to your health and well being, organics should be your first and only choice. When we review materials, or survey harvesting sites we always take our health, and the health of our customers into very serious consideration. If an herbal product is available in a Certified Organic form, that will be our first and only choice for our products…. regardless of price. After all, it is our health that we are talking about, so why skimp? We are hopeful that one-day soon all the products that you see throughout our catalog will be grown and sold with organic certification, and we are currently forming partnerships with several organic associations and farmers. The point of this is to implement a ubiquitous acceptance of organic herb cultivation and to introduce more of these products to the public. In addition to this a good number of our products are grown biodynamic. To find out more about this please check the web for a multitude of biodynamic articles and organizations. We can never stress the importance of organics enough, so to make things simple we have highlighted why the world needs not just organic but certified organic. There is a small selection of herbal products offered by Mountain <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMQp17JkSRwEUoh3oYPfM0URpqB5ABF1WIOJbN6a0PDgOrmY8Qxm8Qh9rV8r1mwyl1sZn1y5e5ZArPyhyphenhyphenJEAnQUd45S-MR9YXxS7dWi4D1_2VIpiqHkgEq5b16nhAs1CNqkhZYzVRlPrg/s1600-h/herbal_oil.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5224567608655370578" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMQp17JkSRwEUoh3oYPfM0URpqB5ABF1WIOJbN6a0PDgOrmY8Qxm8Qh9rV8r1mwyl1sZn1y5e5ZArPyhyphenhyphenJEAnQUd45S-MR9YXxS7dWi4D1_2VIpiqHkgEq5b16nhAs1CNqkhZYzVRlPrg/s400/herbal_oil.jpg" border="0" /></a>Rose Herbs that are not certified organic. In this case, they were harvested in the wild (wildcrafted), thus liberating ourselves from commercial farming dependencies, where chemical use may be employed.<br />Pesticides? No Thanks!<br />Organic farming methods often involve more labor but take far less of a toll on the environment and your health. In fact they improve the local ecology through soil building, crop rotation, careful harvesting, assimilation of the local environment and composting. Conventional non-organic crops require large amounts of synthetic chemicals and fertilizers which are directly sprayed on the crops or injected into the ground. This presents serious problems in the form of run-off from the originating farms, and contributes to the contamination of our ground water supply. This residue will also be fed through wildlife by a process that is known as bio-accumulation, forever changing the blueprints mother nature designed. It also neutralizes the composition of the soil creating an "addict"-like dependency for synthetic supplements, which of course lead to an increased use in chemicals. We need to remind ourselves that when we do not buy organic, we are assuming a risk. Not only with the planet but also with our health.Master timinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17627596960246327601noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8839410431379502965.post-33736360939369916592008-07-17T03:01:00.000-07:002008-10-23T09:04:13.337-07:00Planting Roses<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAPn4FPlqg1fRi3FX2LAnI6XF8t9SZeuN89jl0r3JY3iDYxNpp6UgXNWeDl5zB5hW0ZJztIZLkACNbqSlu3jtQoQB5Bu6LoPDMuE_QZEWJLRjFU-4BX8EKX8hZZ-ZUlTnsJkTPRNQVLRk/s1600-h/rose-garden-1-sm.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5215015400867590082" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 470px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 192px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" height="116" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAPn4FPlqg1fRi3FX2LAnI6XF8t9SZeuN89jl0r3JY3iDYxNpp6UgXNWeDl5zB5hW0ZJztIZLkACNbqSlu3jtQoQB5Bu6LoPDMuE_QZEWJLRjFU-4BX8EKX8hZZ-ZUlTnsJkTPRNQVLRk/s400/rose-garden-1-sm.jpg" width="402" border="0" /></a>It is best to plant your roses between spring and early summer so that they have time to develop a root system before winter sets in.<br />Roses don’t like to be crowded, so give them enough room. Hybrid teas, grandifloras, and floribundas should be planted 18 to 30 inches apart.<br />Climbers should be planted 8 to 12 feet apart. Miniatures can be planted approximately 12 to 15 inches apart.<br />If you have container roses, make sure they have been watered and keep them wet while working. Dig holes for your roses that are 2 ½ times the size of the root ball. It is a good idea to put some well composted organic matter in the bottom of the hole. Mix more composted matter with the soil that you removed, but are planning to put back in the hole.<br />If you don’t have composted matter available, you can substitute a good quality planting mix. It is best to use planting mix that doesn’t contain chemical fertilizers, although it is sometimes difficult to find.<br />Take the rose plant out of the container and put the rose plant in the hole.<br />Pack the prepared dirt under and around the rose, making sure that the dirt on the top of the rose root-ball is level with the ground. It is a good idea to put a straight stick across the hole to make sure the dirt level of the rose is the same as the ground level. If your rose is planted above or below ground level, it may have a difficult time growing properly.<br />Planting bare-root roses is the same process, except that you must gently pack the dirt around the roots. If you have a grafted rose, you need to make sure that the graft union is a little bit below ground level.<br />Purchasing organic rose fertilizer will insure that you have fertilizer to add during the growing season, if you don't already have it on hand at home.<br /><strong>Mulch</strong><br />Mulching will help your roses after they are planted. Mulching is the practice of adding plant material, such as leaves, dead grass, or shredded bark on top of the soil. The plant material will eventually be broken down and pulled into the soil by soil denizens. It will become humus. Mulching also helps to retain moisture in the soil. In a natural environment, leaves fall to the ground and stay there. They act as mulch. For more information on mulching, see the linked article at Clean Air GardeningMaster timinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17627596960246327601noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8839410431379502965.post-23301338025084267262008-07-16T02:14:00.000-07:002008-06-29T04:18:25.914-07:00ROSE GALLERY<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBkQdHYN87OoQY9guGWOqwsCDpDe3lM7IeaBwfwEdR7ZILv2Rj44Z1z9pxLzDd5yBFK60VzIKaIUiZRXHbtNQiMbZgNfGwsIYHcKhKqV7hV7gcU_EKjxMlGeg3GR2JN_gzMQlK9OLIBSM/s1600-h/rose_field3.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5215003563151396594" style="DISPLAY: block;
