Imperial Roseweald

The Imperial Roseweald, also called the sanguine hibiscus, is a reddish-brown plant whose trumpet-shaped flowers are the colour of dried blood. It grows well in temperate climates. The roots of the plant are prised for their medicinal qualities, but must be carefully prepared. Incorrectly prepared it can induce symptoms including profuse sweating, temperature fluctuation and fever.

Imperial Roseweald is easily confused with common roseweald. While the petals of that plant are often dried and used to make a tangy and flavoursome tea (popular both hot and cold), it has no medicinal properties.

Properly applied, Imperial Roseweald can be used to remove venom.
