Giving and receiving roses is so lovely and makes one’s heart sing. Why not give the gift of health from the Rose family — whose botanical name is Rosaceae. Just smell the rose scent in apples, cherries, raspberries, blackberries, strawberries, apricots, and stoned fruits; it’s so mesmerizing. Here’s a super special way to eat from the ‘rose garden’ with these very satisfying, super healthy date energy balls made with dried cherries, apricots, and almonds.
