Bath with Roses

I have always wanted to know how it feels to bathe in roses. I have seen a lot of historical Chinese and Korean dramas where the royals or the noble people take a bath in a bathtub full of red rose petals. I am a curious person and at last I have the chance to do it since I got a lot of organic red roses from my friend last Friday. I didn’t know what to do with a lot of roses besides making them to rosewater and beautifying my home. Last night, 2 hours before going to bed, I took a long bath in a bathtub with the petals of 10 huge red roses. It was heavenly fragrant and relaxing. My hair became soft too. My friend C who owns the rose garden told me to come again with our friend G and get more of her roses. I am grateful to have them as my friends. What a pity C has no bathtub! She could have relax herself in red roses. Anyway, I had a wonderful deep sleep last night. Thank you for reading. Have a nice Monday.

I am glad you enjoyed, I would love to try to bath in milk (like the ancient Roman Poppea), but it would be expensive.

@thelme55 A bath tub full of warm milk would be expensive, I will try to add only a couple of liters of milk.

@LadyDuck Yes, That wouldn't be expensive and fatty. I have tried with 1 liter of fresh full milk added to the bathtub and it was delicious good for my skin. Yes, try it. Enjoy your Thursday Anna.

I was happy to have tried it @LadyDuck. I have tried bathing with 1 liter full cream milk in the bathtub with hot water. It was enough for me and not too expensive. It is called Cleopatra bath and it was good as I have dry skin in winter. The first time I have tried Cleopatra bath was in the spa years ago and it was great. It was so good for dry skin. Thank you. Have a nice day.

I have not ever had a bath with rose petals either. How do you make rosewater?

You can try it @Juliaacv but with organic roses. You can check the link on my profile as I have written it there on how to make it. Thank you and have a nice Monday.

That sounds so luxurious! I had a rose petal bath in our hotel in Shanghai, but the roses didn't smell as wonderful as yours.

Yes, it sounds luxurious @DianneN. Maybe those roses were not fragrant at all. The roses that I got (I still have some in the vases) are very fragrant. Thank you and have a nice Monday.

@Nevena83 Yes, if I have fresh organic roses from my friends. I don’t use the roses from the flower shops as I am not sure if they have no chemicals sprayed in them.

I have seen that in movies only and have not seen anyone in real life taking bath with water having the rose petals. Glad to know that you felt relaxed after taking bath it.

@thelme55 may that's why the Koreans have a glowing skin.

I would assume it would just feel like any other bath, just a bit more colorful. But who am I to judge? lol. If it makes you feel good, why not?
