Flowering of the Rose Garden and Natural Remedies with roses at the Manipura Garden


Welcome to our enchanted garden, where nature dances to the rhythm of the seasons and each bud is an ode to beauty and life itself. The most fragrant moment of the year has finally arrived in our enchanting farmhouse in Massarosa: the flowering of our rugose rose garden. This natural spectacle, rich in colors and scents, delights the senses and nourishes the soul with its timeless beauty. Our farmhouse is colored with shades, with roses that bloom as enchanting as queens of a fairy kingdom. Our rugose roses, with their soft, fragrant petals, range from deep pink to pure white, catching the eye and filling the air with their enveloping scent.  She is the Fairy of Manipura, guardian of roses and medicinal plants, who lovingly protects and cares for every petal and leaf on our farm. With gentleness and wisdom, he teaches adults and children the secrets and hidden powers of plants and the importance of respecting and honoring nature.

Roses have always been associated with a profound spiritual meaning.  Symbol of love, beauty, rebirth, these wonderful blooms have the power to elevate the spirit and bring comfort to the soul, thanks to their beneficial energetic properties, they are considered powerful tools to elevate the spirit and promote inner well-being.


Natural Remedies Workshop with Roses On the occasion of this extraordinary flowering, we create a special experience: the natural remedies workshop with roses, a journey to discover the natural well-being that roses can offer. Let's discover the therapeutic and cosmetic potential of rugose roses and learn how to use them to create natural remedies for the face and body, such as facial masks and toning lotions. We prepare facial masks rich in hydrating, regenerating and anti-inflammatory properties, which help reduce irritation and improve skin elasticity.  We experiment with toning lotions that promote the luminosity and vitality of our skin, while we immerse ourselves in the enveloping scent of our roses. In addition to skin care, we also explore the use of roses to create organic perfumery products.  We also learn the benefits of rose in the aromatherapy field, discovering how its delicate scent can calm the mind and relieve stress.



In a relaxed and stimulating atmosphere, we share knowledge and experiences, enriching our personal baggage of awareness and practice in the field of natural remedies.  At the end of this extraordinary experience, we feel rejuvenated, inspired and ready to integrate the healing power of roses into our daily routine for complete and natural well-being. Admire the blooms of our rose garden, breathe in the enveloping scents and be inspired by their beauty. Come to our farmhouse to taste our jam and our rose syrups!


Flavor and Nature: use of roses in the kitchen In addition to being a panacea for the soul and body, rugose roses also find space in our kitchen. With the petals collected during flowering, we create delicacies such as syrups, jams and rose water, which add a touch of elegance and color to any dish. Our rose syrups are perfect for flavoring fresh drinks and tasty desserts, while our jams are ideal for enriching yoghurt and hot bread.  Rose water is a precious ingredient for giving a delicate aroma and unique flavor to dishes.  Very often used by starred chefs, such as the starred chef Luca Landi, who last year came to visit us during the flowering period and was lulled by the intense and enveloping scent of our roses, deciding to add them to his culinary masterpieces.
