The rose is in India commonly sighted in the form of gulkhand (a sweet preserve of rose petals from India) or a thick sweet jam-like paste used in paan; kewra water which acts as a natural coolant; candied dried rose petals as a garnish on mithai for fragrance and even ittar or native perfumes.
The petals can be used in tea blends as well.

Jasmine
The question is, does chameli and mogra (as the jasmine varieties are locally known) smell better than it tastes? A popular pick for perfumes and oils, the flower’s aroma also functions in scenting teas and sweet dishes like cakes, cookies and other bakes. At home you can dry and mix them in a bag of green tea leaves and watch them ‘flower’ or ‘bloom’ in a cup of hot water. In its dried form one can also add these to salads and rice dishes for aroma and added health benefits.
Benefits: Jasmine tea lowers blood pressure, strengthens the immune system and regulates the aging process. Known to control insomnia, aid weight loss and control cholesterol levels, it is an energy booster and mood enhancer.
