| I had a bouquet of roses that I left at work over a week off, and when I returned it just so happened that one bud dried perfectly. Months later I still have it - it's quite pretty, and has some fragrance, from a Honey Dijon bud.
Does anyone here intentionally dry their roses and keep them? |

| I have lots of bowls of dried roses all over the house. They never really lose their scent altogether. Periodically I go around and clip finished blooms, put them in a colander and let them get crispy dry. Then I just pour them into whatever I can find to hold them....Easy peasy....If your stove has a pilot light, that is a perfect place to put the roses to get crispy dry. If they sit without a bit of warmth and too much dampness, they may mold. If you want to be fancier, you can clip off some stem and use a clothes pin to hang them upside down from a clothesline so you get dried stem along with the dried bloom. That's too much trouble for me.... |
