“A wonderful miracle,” Rogers says. Read on to find out what she tells AARP about the role, the secrets of her low-maintenance beauty routine, and why she always has to stop and smell the roses. Don’t miss this:

The path to her role as Honey Chandler was full of lucky breaks …

It’s a funny story.

They shot the pilot, and Amazon let their Prime members vote on which of three pilots they shot should go to series. And it was Bosch.

I guess there was a feeling that whoever they had cast in that role wasn’t quite working, so we reshot those scenes. So in a completely unique experience in my career, I got offered the part 13 months after my audition.

Tyler Golden/Amazon Freevee Mimi Rogers (left) as Honey Chandler and Titus Welliver as Harry Bosch in "Bosch: Legacy."

… and her acting plus chemistry with her costar cemented the deal

I don’t know that Honey was necessarily supposed to run through the entire series, but the chemistry was great. People loved the relationship between Honey and Bosch [Titus Welliver’s detective character]. Titus was very keen on the idea of, “So what are we going to have for Mimi next season?” I got to do the entire seven seasons.

The thrill and challenge of bringing a character back

I was enormously excited about taking on Honey, coming off of how we ended the last season [an assassin shot Honey in her own home]. Clearly the shock and the near-death experience jolted her priorities in a big way.

The bigger challenge is to realistically portray the very difficult kind of recovery journey coming back from that.

The shocking personal inspiration Rogers drew on

My husband and I were held up in our garage at gunpoint a long time ago. It was all very quick, and no one was hurt.

It was just, like, “Here, take everything. Go.” I know a lot of people react to an experience like that by collapsing into fear — fear of leaving your house, fear of everything around you.

My reaction was not that at all. My first reaction was a very deep-seated, primal, murderous rage. I thought that would be a very interesting element to bring into her — how she reacted and her journey to recovery.

Honey is a fully formed character. She’s not a mother or a grandmother or a sister. A lot of times, as actresses get older, you get looked at to be the mother or the aunt. With Chandler, it’s just Chandler.

Her secret obsession revealed

I’m kind of obsessed with flowers. I love buying and arranging my own flowers. If I weren’t an actor, I could be totally happy to have a flower shop.

I love to see everything when it’s in bloom, in places like . Flowers sort of make me hum. If I’m having family over for Easter or Thanksgiving or Christmas or even just dinner, I love to go to Trader Joe’s and buy a cart full of flowers. I have tons of vases and I’ll spend a couple hours putting together flower arrangements.
