Roses are not just for admiring; they can also be eaten and used in baths, with many uses

Nowadays it's popular to give roses to girls on Valentine's Day. Today happens to be Qixi, so surely the roses in flower shops are selling like hotcakes. Boys are practically breaking down the doors of flower shops to buy beautiful roses, and the more it comes to these holidays, the higher the price of roses rises, even to the point of scarcity, so sometimes you can't buy roses even with money in hand.

After all, some boys buy a whole bouquet of roses just to make a girl happy, so of course there aren't enough roses. As a certain saying goes, they can be used as gifts, but they're not just for giving as gifts. Roses have so many benefits; they can not only be eaten but also used in baths. In this world, there's only what you can't think of, not what you can't do, right?

1. Roses can be eaten - how exactly do you eat them? The most common way is to brew rose tea. This is fairly simple. If you have roses at home, you can pick off the petals, wash them clean, dry them in the sun, and store them in a small jar. Then when one day we want to drink rose tea, we can take the dried rose petals out of the small jar and throw them into boiling water to brew. Once it's done, we can drink it. So how do you know if the rose tea is ready? Actually, this is simple too. When rose tea is ready, the water usually turns red - of course, I don't mean true red. Generally, rose tea is rose red.

But don't think this is pigment settling. Actually, it's because rose petals are generally rose red or red, so the red pigment naturally settles into the water. Besides simple rose tea, roses can also be made into flower cakes. This might be a bit hard for us to make ourselves. Of course, I can tell you the principle of rose cakes. The surface of a rose cake is a layer of dough - as for what specific ingredients, I'm not too sure either. Then inside this dough, some already-prepared rose petals are added. If you want to try, it's recommended to use candied petals.

2. Of course, since we've said roses can not only be eaten but also used in baths, let's learn about what to pay attention to if you want to use roses in a bath. First and foremost, the roses must be guaranteed clean. After all, these are rose petals that will be used in a bath. If they're not washed clean and put into the water for bathing, your body might have problems, which wouldn't be good. How to wash them so you feel assured? Moreover, if the rose petals aren't washed clean, the bath water will look a bit dark, which also affects your mood.

3. How do you grow roses? Actually, it's not particularly difficult. If you want to grow roses, it's best to choose relatively fertile soil to plant them. This is because roses themselves are a relatively fragile plant, and their stems are also quite slender and thin, so a single rose plant can't actually draw much fertilizer from the soil.

Of course, besides the soil needing to be fertile, we also need to pay attention to fertilizing, because sometimes the soil actually can't meet our requirements, so we need fertilizer to supplement nutrients. But with this fertilizer, we must control the amount used well. Usually, it's best to fertilize once every half month - no need to do it too frequently.
