In most cases when people talk of rose wood, they talk about the wood of the Tuliptree (Dalbergia decipularis). On this page I am talking about the wood of a normal rose (rosa).
the wood is relative soft and has a very interesting grain. Unfortunately it breaks very easy while it is drying. Therfore it is very difficult to carve bigger pieces, but it is easy to carve very nice little things.
