I make rose water by just simply getting spring water from the well of an
ancient, blessed well, and adding rose pedals to the water. I allow the
rose pedals to sit in the water for a couple of days. The color of the
pedals are determined at your discretion.
I use the rose water to make holy water. There are other spells in which
the water can be used for. I hope this helps

The way I have made rose water in the past is I use a non-metal pan on the
stove. I place in it fresh mountain stream water (I live in Washington so
it's somewhat easily obtainable here, you might find something else to your
liking) and the petals from one large rose, usually a dark red or pink, but
it's up to you. I put the stove on the lowest temperature and let it sit
for a while, covered. You may also brew it some what like a tea where you
boil the water first and then let the roses steep in the boiled water in a
non-metal tea kettle or something.
There are many uses for rose water, I use it for works of magick or simply
in my bath for a nice smell. Hope this is helpful to you!

I make my rose water by requesting 5-6 large blooms from the apt complex
bush. It is a Peace Roesbush, and about 6 1/2' tall. The petals are those
of a glorious sunsrise, pinks into melons, into raging orange. I then shake
the petals gently loose from the bloom so as not to bruise them. I place
the loose petals in a ceramic potpourri pot, and add about 3/4c of fresh
spring water from a waterfall by the abode. I use a tea candle to slowly
warm and blend the petals with the water. It does take about 1 to 2 weeks
of burning like a potpourri (makes the house smell good!), and adding 1/2c
water each evening, but the result is worth it. I then bless it under a
full moon, (like tonight's), before using it in ritual or at vespers. The
residue that is left at the bottom of the ceramic potpourri pot, I then use
as a fragrant when making candles, also carries a lovely rose smell while
burning. Waste not, want not.......
