Rose Petals

We suggest you use your Rose Petals within six months of purchase, however, in the right conditions they will last for years!

It is absolutely essential to keep the petals in a dry atmosphere and at a slightly cooler than room temperature, out of bright light and with the top of the bags turned over a few times.

Edible & dried, these rose petals are from certified organic sources;  grown in Pakistan and packed in the UK.  

No known allergens are used in any of our products, but whilst all care has been taken, we cannot completely guarantee that cross-contamination has not occurred.

Rose petals need to be treated with care if used in gin production as they are fragile and the delicate floral notes may not be extracted if overheated.  In fact, it is commonly claimed that it is impossible to pot distill the flowers.  However, Herno Swedish Rose is made using distilled rose petals, which add a floral sweetness to the gin.  A distillate of rose, along with a distillate of cucumber, is added to Hendrick's Gin, after the blending of its two intial pot and Carterhead distillates.  Another gin made using rose is Nolet's Silver Dry Gin.  Rose is also used to make rosewater, a cocktail ingredient, and Creme de Rose, a once-forgotten liqueur that has since been revived.
