An old friend visited and brought me a dozen yellow roses. I would like to dry them. How do you dry roses?



Answers:
If you just want to dry them you can tie them together and hang them in a warm dry place upside-down...maybe an attic. BUT if you want to preserve them you can buy a product called Silica Gel at a craft store such as Michael's and get a finished flower that is not so brittle and fragile. Silica gel can be a bit expensive but it can be reused again and again. To hasten the process you can use your oven at a very low temp. or you can just store the blooms in a box with the gel and wait longer. Good luck!

I believe you hang them upside down to dry
You can do different ways place to roses on a cookie pan and put them in the oven for 10 min. at 150 degree's...keep an eye on them. Give it a try.
Tie a string around the bunch and hang them upside down until dry.
