A rose is a rose, but a rose geranium....
Geranium also known as pelargonium graveolens, a perennial shrub grows up to one metre high with serrated leaves and small pink flowers. Native to South Africa and widely cultivated in Russia, Egypt, Congo, Japan, Central America, and Europe ( mainly Spain, Italy, France). The oil is extracted by steam distillation from the leaves, stalks and flowers. Often used to aid acne, bruises, broken capillaries, burns, oily complexion and eczema. Among Native Americans, the roots were a popular skin astringent. Crushed roots were favored as poultices for arthritic joints, hemorrhoids and sore feet. Compresses made from geranium root teas were used for sores, bleeding wounds and burns.
