About
The Jericho rose is a real, dried desert plant, native to arid regions, that closes tightly when dry and reopens when given water — a natural process that has made it a symbol of renewal and new beginnings in home and folk ritual traditions. It's traditionally kept in cleansing and intention-setting practices, and can also simply be enjoyed as an interesting botanical curiosity. See more in smudging and herbs or browse home and feng shui pieces to pair with it.
How to use it
Place the dried plant in a small, shallow bowl of clean, room-temperature water and let it open naturally over several hours. Many people use this time to set an intention or simply enjoy watching it unfurl. After use, remove it from the water and let it dry completely before storing — this is what allows it to be revived again the next time.
Care & safety
Use clean, room-temperature water and avoid leaving the plant submerged for more than 5–7 days at a stretch. Let it dry fully between uses to prevent mold, and store it out of direct sunlight when not in water. This is a decorative and symbolic botanical, not a health product or medical device.
Frequently asked questions
What is a Jericho rose?
