The pink wild rose petal lemonade is a super tasty and very decorative summer lemonade. It does not require a lot of time to make, and it is also very easy to identify wild roses. Wild rose petals can be harvested in summer and they have an aromatic scent. Wild roses are also known as beach roses since you will often find them growing close to the coastline. The Latin name of this wild rose is called “Rosa Rugosa” and is a very invasive bush in Northern Europe, where I live. Therefore, it is perfect that the invasive rose bush also has an amazing taste and can be used for multiple purposes.
