There is a small, delicate-petalled pink rose with long powdery yellow stamens that is native to the Chicago area. It is also very endangered.
A tincture made of 5 drops of that rose’s oil, 1 drop of almond oil, and 2 drops of dog’s blood, will grease any political wheels. It can be slipped into coffee, passed from flesh to flesh via handshake, or mixed into ink.
It must be reapplied daily or the results wear off quickly.
The rose will not grow outside of certain areas of Chicago.
Some have tried to substitute human blood for dog’s blood, thinking that will increase the potency of the tincture. It does, but the results are more likely to twist and betray the user.
