THE HISTORY OF THE AOTEA ROSE ESSENCES During 1993/1994 I experienced some in-depth personal grief. My most peaceful times occurred when I could be in the garden. There I could silently cry without having to give an explanation. The earth happily absorbed my tears and the plants listened. Then one day the roses responded to my pleas for help. I was kneeling down weeding between the rose bushes when words came into my head. “You have grieved for one whole year. Now it is time for you to let go and move forward”. It seemed an obvious statement yet it solicited my immediate question about how to do that. Once again the words were in my head but this time they seemed to come via the rose bush just above me. “Pick me because I can help you”. The urge was very strong to just walk away. I was a little concerned about hearing voices as part of escaping reality. In my mind I replied that I would get the secateurs. Maybe I could break this spell by walking away. “NO”, I heard, “just pick by hand and you will know the ones you need”. The silent dialogue continued. It guided me towards the next rose bush where once again I collected those that seemed to give me a little nod. As I picked those very dark red roses, my tears came back. The name of the bush was still there: “Bull’s Red”. Eventually the essence from that rose wanted to be number 1 and known as Transition. n. Heidi Cramb FOUNDER OF THE AOTEA ROSE ESSENCES
