Magical Uses: Traditionally, roses have symbolized love and passion due to their emotional significance.

Rose petal distillate is often used in love baths and rose hip beads are worn as charms to attract love.

A tea brewed from rose petals can create prophetic dreams when consumed before sleep. In the past, women have used three green rose leaves to predict their romantic future by assigning each leaf to a different lover. The leaf that remained green the longest would reveal the answer to the question, "which one?".

Additional uses for rose petals and hips include their incorporation in healing spells and mixtures. For a natural headache remedy, try placing a cloth soaked in rosewater on the temples.

When carried, roses are also included in fast-luck mixtures and act as personal protectants.
