Fresh Rose Petals

Rosa centifolia

Rose (Rosa centifolia) is a flowering plant belonging to the Rosaceae family, commonly known as the 'cabbage rose' due to its rounded shape and high volume of petals. While believed to be native to Europe and Asia, it is now widely cultivated. We use rose in our products for its soothing effect on the skin, and beautiful floral fragrance. The rose petals infuse the water with fragrance, and rehydrates as if they have been freshly plucked from your garden.

Lush purchases roses from multiple suppliers, all of whom must comply with Lush's buying policy which encourages growers to move away from the use of hazardous pesticides. Our fairtrade red rose petals, for example, come from a supplier in Kenya, where the climate is perfect for growing fragrant fairtrade roses without the use of energy-draining greenhouses. Our supplier is committed to the welfare of their workers and their rural community, providing access to an inclusive resource centre and medical services.
