LATIN: Rosa/tea rose/name unknown

GOOD FOR: Mom's Rose gives special comfort for the broken heart. It is known as the "loss of love" natural essence. Mom's Rose has an affinity to help heal from the shock or trauma of any heart injury. There is a measure of comfort that comes from this rose bush, and special attention is focused on our fears, anxieties and what-if's that always occur after a death or divorce. A sense of peace pervades in place of chaos. A sense of, 'it's going to be all right' replaces the angst of chaos, confusion or loss.

DID YOU KNOW:

To say the least, you are a mental giant. You think a lot--maybe too much. Your mind is sharp, curious, quick to jump and make up your mind about something. You do very well in academic surroundings. And you're good at memorizing things. Able to learn in classroom situations, you are a "book learner" type. Verbal by nature, you can communicate well in speaking as well as writing. Your world consists of using logic and rationalization. A prove-it-to-me kind of person.

THE HEALTHY YOU:

You're a gut-hunch kind of person whether you realize it or not. A lot of your decisions are based upon primal instinct which may or may not even tweak you consciously. However, you're a wonderful amalgam of rational mind (left brain) and right brain (instincts and intuition) IF you want to be. If you are truly in balance, you become very "whole-brained", utilizing both hemispheres of your brain to a very high degree. Not only can you know the answer to an Algebra problem before doing the math on it, you can also do the math to prove how you know the answer! That's a pretty neat trick!

THE UNHEALTHY YOU:

Insomnia can dog your heels because you are the one that gets the "gerbil running on the wheel" at night, and you can't shut off your thoughts. They just keep rolling along even though you'd like some sleep! You can get dogged, stuck and very stiff-necked about your belief system. Worse, you will be arrogant about it and you're right and the rest of the world is wrong. It's "my way or no way...." kind of blinders-on attitude. The old saying: You are cut off from the neck down, implies that you allow your logic and rational to rule you and you suppress your emotions--not a good thing in the long run!

MOM'S ROSE (orange/yellow): My mother, Ruth, takes care of this rosebush; and is it ever a beauty! The beautiful red/orange around the outer edge of a deep yellow petal make this rose quite a beauty--not to mention, her wonderful, spiraling fragrance.

Anything Ruth grows, seems to take on glow. My mother is very close to the Earth and has an incredible 'green thumb' that all our plants benefit from. Because this rose bush grows in my Mother's yard, it gets special attention and care, and maybe that is what makes it so uniquely special.

For anyone going through a divorce, separation or lost love (death or otherwise), Mom's Rose gives special comfort for the broken heart. It is known as the "loss of love" natural essence. Mom's Rose has an affinity to help heal from the shock or trauma of any heart injury. There is a measure of comfort that comes from this rose bush, and special attention is focused on our fears, anxieties and what-if's that always occur after a death or divorce. A sense of peace pervades in place of chaos. A sense of, 'it's going to be all right' replaces the angst of chaos, confusion or loss.
