It must be officinalis, because rugosa imparts the scent but not the flavour, whreas the other gallicas impart the flavour but not the scent ... get the picture? Officinalis.<br /><br />Cover with vodka and let steep three days. Strain, wring all the moisture out of the petals - and repeat three times more. Four glassfuls of petals + stamens to the same jarful of vodka!<br /><br />Strain, stopper airtight, and let sit for three months at least to mature before using.<br /><br />This yields a very concentrated 'image of a rose'.
