(Rosa roxburghii)
The Japanese rose was cultivated for the first time in 1840. It has many pale pink delicate petals with yellow stems inside. The rose, which is resistant to winter, develops some bitter and large rosehips very rich in vitamin C which are similar to chestnuts or nauclea. With regard to its effect, the Japanese rose is very similar to Dr Bach´s wild rose.

Its gift consists in providing us a beautiful experience: The disinterested love that we are able to give returns to us in many ways.
Essence Effect on the Body: When we have oversized expectations of other people (for example, your spouse), such as perfectionism and self-demands, impatience and despair, they can be manifested through corporal symptoms. In these cases, the Japanese Rose essence will exercise on us a beneficial and compensating effect.
Mood: The feeling of injustice and of despair regarding the personal future receives through this essence a "ray of ethereal light". It helps us develop new energy in our hearts that we will convey to others in the form of warmth, sympathy, affection and openness, while experiencing this energy of love in exchange. This way, we will be able to free ourselves of negative feelings and establish a new base for our perceptions.

It stimulates our willingness to reflect on ourselves and it helps us to implement daily our knowledge and understanding with kindness.
Spirit: Japanese rose reinvigorates the power of hope in us opening the spiritual road of confidence, satisfaction, patience and moderation. "Suddenly" we will be able to be expecting and then accept and honor with gratitude the loving gift of destiny.
