Roses are plucked around two to three hours after sunrise so that the dew on them is totally evaporated. Petals of red roses with great fragrance have to be selected.
Only petals are used. They are placed in a vessel and covered with just enough distilled water.Too much water will dilute the rose water and will not be effective. The vessel is closed with a lid and brought to steam boil but not to full boil. The flame is kept on simmer. In this process the colour and oil of the roses will slowly leave the petals and get dissolved in the water. The petals will lose their colour and the water will turn red.
Rose water is ready for use after it is cooled.
Rose water could be kept in the fridge for it to last longer.

I am sure it is so magical for the bride having this rose water on her wedding day. The fragrance can bring a relaxation for those who can smell it. It adds to beautification to the wedding reception.The preparation wasn't complicated and can be done with fun.
I have not introduced rose water in my household but going by the benefits of this product whoever has fragrant red roses in their gardens could attempt to make this.
My friend wrote an article about rose water. I think she called it Grandma's secret weapon for skincare or something like that. :)
Rose water is freely available in the market but nothing like making your own specially if one has enough roses growing in their gardens.
