Rose Petal Rosary
Catholic question: I’ve been trying to find the manufacturer of a Rosary I bought….?
I bought a Rosary a few years ago, the store isn’t there anymore and I don’t have any info to track it. I’ve been to the two stores within an hour of my place by car, but they don’t carry anything similar.
What happened is two of the beads got squished and I need to find them in order to get them repaired.
It’s a Jerusalem cross rosary – with JERUSALEM in capitals on the back of the crucifix, rather large red pressed rose petal beads (smells beautiful). Anyone that can help or has seen one and can forward a website I’d appreciate it lots! I’ve tried to find it everywhere – even online, but am hoping someone knows a site or a store that has them – great sentimental value.
Thank you in advance and God bless you!!
The rosary is one of the most powerful methods of prayer. Praying the rosary gives true worship to God The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, as well as venerating (not worshiping) the Blessed Virgin Mary, who works more closely with Jesus, in his great work of redemption, than any of his other disciples or apostles ever could.
Please send your rosary to the following address, enclosing your email address (if you have one) and any information that may assist with the repair:

Rose Petal Rosary
Exploring The Craft Of Making Rose Petal Rosary Beads
Roses seem to be the flower of choice in many of life’s most precious and sentimental events. Roses can convey love, peace, friendship, and forgiveness. It is so sad to see those beautiful roses form our life events turn to dust. Wouldn’t it be special to turn those roses into a permanent and sacred symbol of that event?
Rose petals can be crafted into beads for use in rosaries and jewelry. The craft of making beads from rose petals is unique, and most often practiced by nuns, who use the beads to make rosaries. Crafting rose petals into beads by hand is a long and laborious task. It requires great dexterity, attention to detail, time, and patience. This process involves first heating the rose petals. The roses are then mashed and dried to a desired consistency. The paste is then hand-rolled into beads and left to dry. Much experimentation is needed in order to achieve a specific sized bead. No matter what color the roses are, all the beads will turn black, due to the chemical reaction during the heating process.
The most wonderful element about these beads is that they are 100% rose petals. No fixatives or fillers are required. The beads are extremely durable and can be used in place of any other plastic or glass beads. They even retain their fragrance. The beads are quite striking when used in a rosary.
I have made many rose petal rosaries from funeral roses for those whom have lost loved ones. Many people, including myself, have found such peace and comfort in having these rosaries during such s sorrowful time. However, rose petal rosaries and rose petal bead jewelry are appropriate for any life event–joyful or sorrowful, or even for no event at all. Some people enjoy having a rose petal rosary from their garden roses.
