Home Drying Roses.
Here's a very simple old fashioned way of drying roses that works very well.
Choose blooms that are partly opened and cut them when the petals are dry,(wet petals can go mouldy).
Take a biscuit tin and place a couple of inches of oven-dried sand in the bottom .
Place the flowerheads on the sand , close but not touching.
Carefully cover them with more sand and if you like add another layer of rose heads.Repeat as before.Replace the tin lid and seal with sticky tape. place in a warm room .
After four weeks the process is complete and you can carefully remove the sand.
Push florist wire into the base of the dried blooms and arrange as you wish.
