玫瑰香水（又作玫瑰花水）是玫瑰花瓣蒸馏液的水溶胶（或花精露）部分。早期制造玫瑰香水是把玫瑰花放入密封的玻璃瓶再置其于阳光处，一个多月后便可得到几滴玫瑰香水，最初在波斯研制发现。不过现代的香水业需要大量的玫瑰精油（来自玫瑰花朵的抽出物），玫瑰香水作玫瑰精油的主要副产品，使以往的昂贵价钱大幅减少。

在中东及南亚国家，玫瑰香水普遍被用作调味品供人食用。在马来西亚玫瑰香水作为玫瑰奶饮料（马来语：Bandung）的重要成分。

Rose water is a flavoured water made by steeping rose petals in water. It is the hydrosol portion of the distillate of rose petals, a by-product of the production of rose oil for use in perfume. It is used to flavour food, as a component in some cosmetic and medical preparations, and for religious purposes throughout Europe and Asia. Rose syrup (not to be confused with rose-hip syrup) is made from rose water, with sugar added.
