Ladies, let's be honest: while giving a dozen roses on Mother's Day is a lovely gesture, they wilt sooner than she can finish her favorite primetime show. Wouldn't you rather gift her one of these rose-scented products instead? Not only does the flower make a wonderful fragrance, but rosewater is also a naturally moisturizing ingredient. Beyond skin care, roses also bring an array of colors to the makeup spectrum (primarily dusty pinks). Shop our favorite rose-themed products for mom ahead, or just slip this hint into your father's inbox.
