heavens, no...
rose essence is extremely concentrated rose extract used in making perfumes, a very small amount is used to make (usually) ladies perfumes.
The best one comes from Bulgaria and Turkey

Rose water is made with rose petals and is a clear liquid with sugar and delicate rose fragrance, it used in making pastries.
what you need is pastry essence (rose scent) available from supermarkets.

hmm.. i suppose it's different.
