About Us

A Rose by any other name...

...would smell just as sweet.

Rosa Rugosa Botanica was born as a reminder that life is a beautiful, yet limited treasure to be fully savored and celebrated: both the pleasures and the pains; the flowers and the thorns.

We offer a wide variety of artisanal hydrosols, distilled by hand from flowers, herbs, and other plant material, much of which is grown right here, on-site at our urban micro-farm, "Casa de la Rosa", in Grand Rapids, Michigan.

Occasionally, we create one of a kind jewelry, rosaries, and prayer beads featuring flower petal beads, handmade from the plant material leftover after the distillation process.

And no botanica would be complete without providing some spiritual support and services-- ours include home blessings, classes, energy work, consultations, and other ceremonies, including weddings.
