God damn if only if it’s still being rebroadcasted but alas this lost treasure was almost lost. And I never knew this documentary existed I’m from the gen Z so yeah you can already tell why I never knew this hidden gem existed. But boy do I love roses.

The Georgeson Garden in Fairbanks, Alaska, has several mystery roses salvaged from old cabins in town. If a plant can grow at all in this sub-Arctic area, it grows quite vigorously. Few have much scent.

Some roses when placed in vinegar, well the color will not leach out. In most cases, you can place petals, buds etc in vinegar with mineral oil, lard or leaf lard, shea butter, vegetable oil and make a substance very good for the skin. Amt of vinegar varies, but sometimes lemon juice was used but this had to be used quickly. In 1939. This Rose Society out of Poland was taken over by the Nazis. It's cemetery rose section was its land restoration arm. It had two branches in North America, Ohio, Columbus and New Straitsville., the latter hopefully still has its rose mallow swamp. The French produced, via Huguenots , produced flower petals for the French court. In France, rural aerfs grew roses. Untul the French Revolution. they never saw these roses in bloom. The Medicis came before.

Certain mosses were used for the skin, the diaper mosses and rose vinegar was applied wuth this moss. Raw cotton was also used. cotton seed oil.
