Wild Rose Extract

Wild Rose Essence

Rosa rugosa + Rosa canina 

Wild Rose is made from hand gathered rose petals harvested in season, when their fragrance is soft, fresh, and fully present. This essence captures the subtle floral character of wild roses growing close to shore and along quiet edges, offering a gentle way to bring their aroma and taste into drinks and food.

The flavor is delicate and expressive rather than sweet. Light floral notes unfold slowly, adding lift and clarity without overpowering other ingredients. Wild Rose works best when used sparingly, allowing its presence to remain suggestive and restrained.

This essence can be used in cocktails, desserts, syrups, and simple kitchen rituals. A small amount adds brightness and elegance, inviting attentiveness rather than decoration.

Below are a few ways Wild Rose can be enjoyed. These are offered as starting points and can be adapted to taste.

Ramblin’ Rose Martini
