Wild Rose - Eglantine

• You react indifferently, you are resigned and you tell yourself that there is nothing you can do to change.

The dog rose (or Rosa canina) is a widespread wild rose bush from which the Bach flower Wild Rose is derived. With its stems armed with formidable thorns, it is capable of forming tall and impenetrable hedges. It is true that its branches are as unruly as they are powerful. Sometimes, the dog rose seems ready to collapse under its own weight. It is then tempting to underestimate the shrub. In reality, it is full of resources. And beneath its wild, messy, and sometimes tired appearance, it demonstrates great vigor and beautiful creativity.

Its flowers can be white or a pretty pale pink. They bloom in light clusters throughout the summer. They produce a fragrance that is highly prized in perfumery. At the end of this abundant flowering, the rosehip produces rosehip. This famous "itching powder" is as delicious in syrup as it is in jelly. It is enjoyable dried, in infusion, or in decoction. The rosehip is a remarkable rootstock, which can be used to create sublime rose bushes.
