I went to The Russian River Rose Company in Healdsburg, CA on the Classic Perfume Harvest Tour with the distillation of roses. I watched freshly picked rose petals being distilled into Rose Water (also known as Rose Hydrosol). Their rose water is divine. Rose water makes an excellent facial toner. It is gentle, non-drying and moisturizing for the skin. It can be used in a formulation for a luxury facial cream.

Unique beautiful roses and perennials are available for purchase in their nursery. If you are a gardener check out “Jan’s Garden Tool Belt” custom designed and sewn.
Hi Michelle,
Roses are one of my favorite flowers. I use rose hydrosol as a toner and facial mist most of the time.
This sounds like a place I’d like to visit. I love roses!
