Wild Rose

Wild Rose: Remedy from the set of the Second Nineteen

About this music

A song to lyrics by Harriet Edwards, performed once only to date in a version for voice, saxophone, piano bass and drums.

A slow 4/4 time with slow moving vocal line. In between the vocal sections, there is a more elaborate melody for the saxophone with lots of semiquaver movement.

About Wild Rose, the Bach Flower Remedy

Sleeping Beauty – going up into a tower – spinning – pricked finger – falling asleep.

Bach chose the Wild Rose as remedy for those who become apathetic and allow their will to fall asleep.

Those who without apparently sufficient reason become resigned to all that happens, and just glide through life, take it as it is, without any effort to improve things and find some joy. They have surrendered to the struggle of life without complaint.

This emotional state is the result of some life trauma or changed circumstances – the key words are resignation and surrender.

The stems of the plant start off energetically, thrust up vertically, but then when free of support curve over and turn back towards the earth. Thorns act as hooks which help the plant to gain stability. When a person becomes ‘resigned to all that happens’ they are indeed blown as the wind wills without structure or direction of their own.

The large flamboyant rose with its loose plant structure illustrates lack of will and lack of clear determination. Those who suffer Wild Rose lassitude and mental fatigue find physical stimulus and refreshment from rosehip tea or syrup. Little hairs cushion the seeds, and these, along with the thorns, have an irritant effect. The plant stimulates a physical response.

This account of this Bach Flower Remedy is based on the book Bach Flower Remedies : Form and Function by Julian Barnard.
