I'm glad you thought of the Florilegium for this. Yes, the 
rosewater-msg file is mostly on sources for and how to make rosewater. 
The reason for this is that rosewater actually gets used in *a lot* of 
medieval recipes and the rosewater-msg file is already pretty large as 
it is.

Rosewater is usually not the main ingredient in a recipe, so I don't 
have a file of recipes organized around rosewater. However, if you go 
to the top page of the Florilegium and use the search engine with 
"rosewater recipe" you will get 424 hits. Glancing through these, most 
are recipes that use rosewater.
