rose-petals

Wedding aisle scatter

Rose-petals are the individual segments of a rose flower, prized for their color, fragrance, and delicate texture.

They're scattered at weddings, floated in baths, dried for potpourri, and used in cooking and perfumery.

The singular rose-petal typically appears as an adjective: rose-petal lips, rose-petal skin—suggesting softness and delicacy.
