Every rose has its’ thorn as the old proverb (or Poison song) says and is supposed to mean that every good situation happens with some misfortune or adversity and that every positive occurrence has negative aspects. The one potential exception to this mildly pessimistic saying are Ome’s new wholesale Rose Palms. Thorn-free, the number of points on their cons list is at an all-time low.

You may be wondering, “Rose Palms? Aren’t rose petals for some sort of romantic mumbo jumbo?” Well, humble reader, what may be viewed as some starry-eyed fad has swept the smoking world by red, rosy storm, despite rose petals being used in wraps and other smoking paraphernalia for years (though perhaps most notably during the 50s and 60s as a seasonal option for cigarettes). Later, during the early aughts of social media, rose petal blunts became a popular smoking option for dry herb if other rolling papers or rolling cones weren’t available. Not only are rose petals used as the rolling receptacle, they are also smoked in place of other herbs, often in hookahs. While there is no generally accepted or scientifically credible claim of the safety of smoking rose petals, many users regard it as safe and don’t report side effects beyond that of smoking any other herb. But as always: use at your own risk and consult the necessary parties to determine what’s right for you and/or your customers.

So, your customers are banging down your door, begging for these rose petal cones to woo a potential love interest or to taste the symbol of romanticism or maybe just to add something fun and different into their smoking rotation. How does it hold up against other, perhaps less kitschy, smoking cone options? Rose petal cones burn almost twice as slow as traditional rolling paper cones because they burn at a lower temperature. This lower temperature allows for the full terpene profile of not only your dry herb to increase, but of the rose petals. While the profile hasn’t been fully explored, early allegorical evidence suggests that the nerolidol and geraniol contained within the petals relaxes and calms the nervous system, potentially decreasing anxiety (nerolidol) and inflammation (geraniol). Both are also found in cannabis and are largely responsible for the floral and aromatic component of a rose.

The prospect of burning these petals up seems (and smells) pretty sweet, but how long do these glorified leaves really last in comparison to more heavily manufactured and honed papers? Like everything that’s fleeting and fickle, they won’t last forever even in the nifty manufacturer’s packaging. However, one can expect the petal cones to last a little over two years if kept in the original packaging and in a cool, dark place. Many manufacturers recommend filling and using them immediately after they’re opened to prevent the petals from drying out and cracking. Another benefit to doing this is keeping the highest possible terpene profile since the terpene potency decreases after the first year of non-use. Finally, when your customers are done enjoying their rosy dry herb smoking experience, they can extinguish the cone by cutting the ember off with scissors or allowing it to naturally burn out just like other wholesale rolling paper cones.
