Niwot shrub roses are prolific producers of fragrant blossoms.
Early in June and just after sunrise, Medovina hand picks select
rose petals, then steeps them carefully to express their delicate
aromas. Honey is added to the rose water, and the magic begins.
The bouquet and color of this mead unmistakably and delicately
capture the essence of the wild rose.
Stinging Rose is generally available from Valentine's Day until
Mother's Day. The 2005 vintage Stinging Rose finished
just a touch sweeter than the 2004 vintage. This really
brings out the rose character.
We did some major
pruning of our antique shrub roses this summer. Hopefully
this will bring an even more bountiful harvest of rose petals
next summer.
