Did you know that there are over 15,000 varieties of cultivated roses? With so many varieties, rose flower essences are a specialized area within the realm of flower essence therapy. The essence of Wild Rose (Rosa canina), as discovered by Dr. Edward Bach, founder of the Bach Flower Remedies, brings healing motivation to those resigned to life's circumstances and find no joy in life. Based upon more than sixteen years of researching vibrational essences, we have found that today's rose flower essences are a branched healing system of Dr. Bach's system, which was developed in the 1930's. Society's challenges and stresses have changed and even intensified over the years. This branched healing system of rose flower essence therapy helps to address the emotional issues, stresses and spiritual aspirations of 21st Century. RFE offers rose flower essences that are made from organically cultivated garden roses and roses grown in the wild. Each rose supports healing soul qualities that open us to flow with and contribute to positive changes in life rather than be resigned to "the sameness" of life, where there is no expansion or growth. When using rose flower essences, we can begin to find joy, love, delight, and many other qualities to nurture and sustain the soul. Learn these healing qualities by reading about the roses on our Essence Catalog page in this website.
