PARTNERS WITH ROSAFLORA BOTANICALS AND FLOWER ESSENCES LASTONE THERAPY™ We are pleased to announce a rekindling of our partnership with Mary Nelson and Lastone Therapy™, the Original Hot and Cold Stone Massage. LaStone Therapists have graciously participated in our Rose Essence Research Program and their stories and testimonies appear in the book. We are now planning to take our partnership to a new level - incorporating the Rosaflora Essences and Rose Aromatherapy products and techniques into a practitioner training workshop offered by LaStone. The details are in the planning stage, yet we are thrilled to be working with LaStone once again!

7TH FIRE HEALING ALLIANCE Rosaflora Botanicals and Golden Rose Wellness has partnered with the 7th Fire Healing Alliance as one of its partner organizations. The goal is to educate underserved communities about indigenous and natural techniques for achieving balance and wellness in today's society. HILLCREST URBAN COMMUNITY FARM Rosaflora Botanicals has formed a partnership with the Hillcrest Urban Community Farm in Pittsburgh to create a healing roses organic garden during the Summer of 2006. Our rose garden will be one of several gardens on the site, which include a perennial herb garden and a garden of plants for creating natural dyes and colorings. All of the gardens are cultivated using organic methods. We are excited about this new partnership and will keep you abreast of our progress.

TUCSON ROSE SOCIETY As the original garden of roses for our mother essences of over 300 organically grown roses was in Tucson, Arizona with master rose gardener, Sandy Miller, we maintain a partnership with Sandy and master rose growers in Tucson. All of the essences in the book originated from desert-grown roses. These roses are particulary hardy and carry a spectacular life-force energy, supported by the radiant light of the desert sun. The photos on the Rose Gallery page show twenty of the original roses. MELVA WHEELER MASTER ORGANIC ROSE GARDENER During 2005 we partnered with Melva Wheeler and her organic rose garden in Denton, Texas. We harvested 30 organic Noisette, Floribunda and Old Garden Roses and formulated mother tinctures for essences. Some of these essences are currently our research essences, though their healing profiles are gradually emerging. Again, the roses from that part of the United States bask in the bright sun of southern latitudes. You can view photos of some of these roses, taken by Melva in her garden on the ROSE FLOWER ESSENCES page.
