HERITAGE ROSE Rosa “Heritage”

When Heritage Rose came to the farm, kindness of a Green Hope Farm friend, I was a bit put off by the name. I was ready to throw the baby out with the bath water. The Angels rather strongly reminded me that Heritage Rose was a hybrid of David Austin who also hybridized our beloved Mary Rose. They told me Heritage would be a stunning Rose with a stunning Essence AND an appropriate name. This all proved true.

Heritage Rose is an exquisite shell pink Rose that unfolds its pearly petals with elegance and eloquence. As an Essence, it sweeps away the conventional notions of heritage as property, possessions, status as members of a certain family, or cultural traditions. It reminds us that our only really valuable inheritance is that we are God’s children, returning from a long journey back to consciously knowing this divine heritage. We are God’s! That is a family tree worth glowing about!

On a practical level, Heritage Rose might be a good Essence to consider when trappings of family traditions or Earth family circumstances feel claustrophobic. Heritage helps us know that the family we belong to is bigger than our blood relatives. This is also an excellent Essence when we have lost relatives and are feeling bereft or orphaned. It reminds us our true parents are never lost to us. 

One Green Hope friend reported that in her work she has found Heritage Rose Essence an excellent remedy for animals and people who are afraid of dying because of losing their place in a specific family or genetic lineage. The Essence helps them connect to the bigger picture and thus let go, feeling comforted, safe, and part of a wonderful eternal family. She also explained that this is an excellent remedy for new pets that are being called to expand their definition of family beyond their litter of origin or beyond their identity as a member of their own species. How grateful I was for her input. I can sometimes forget how enormous a leap it is for animals to have people as their families. 

I AM the Rose that reveals and celebrates the grace of your imperishable heritage as a child of God.
