Rosewater is also the name of a suburb of Adelaide in South Australia. Rosewater or rose syrup ( Golâb Turkish: Gül suyu) is the hydrosol portion of the distillate of rose petals. Rosewater, itself a by-product of the production of rose oil for use in perfume, is used to flavour food, as a component in some cosmetic and medical preparations, and for religious purposes throughout Europe and Asia.

Rosewater, sometimes spelled RoseWater, was a homeless advocacy organization founded in Cleveland, Ohio in the late nineties by Clark David Campbell. Its mission was to "liberate" abandoned buildings for use by the homeless. In December of 1999, Campbell, joined by vegetarian activist group "Food Not Bombs," led a well-publicized protest on public square against then Mayor Michael R. White's "sweeping the streets" policy. [1]Mayor Michael White had instituted a policy in accordance with other mayors at the time, most notably Mayor Rudy Giuliani of New York City [2], to "sweep the streets" of the homeless during the holiday shopping season. This was done in an effort to reduce their visibility, in order to improve city's public image, and promote economic development.
