What is rose paste?

[Linzerbear]

A friend of mine was taking a pastry test and one of the questions was,What is Rose Paste made of?

the only rose paste i know of is rose coloring paste, or a flavor paste, but her only options on the test were;

brown sugar, confectioners sugar, shortening,meringue powder, things of this sort, nothing with roses or flavoring.

Any one have any ideas?

thanks!

I'm betting it's the same as this.

thanks, both of us were thinking the same thing, like a gum paste or modeling paste, but neither of us had ever heard of it referred to as rose paste

thanks!

But google searching suggested that it was gel coloring (rose color of course).
