Forgetmenot's question

Quote:
I love the nettles ones!!!! I've been using it as a plant feed too. Maybe this is a silly question but what's the best way to dry the rose petals, I have them and would love to use them but if I experiment, may kill them off and be stuck until next year.


Hi forgetme not....did you want them as a whole rose or do you want just the petals?

best way i found for the petals is a very slow bake in the oven...if you have rayburn or aga put in the bottom oven, if ordinary oven put at the lowest possible temp.
As for a whole rose ..... hang them up (upside down) in a kitchen or an airer thats in a very dry place!

hope that helps
