  • Harvest rose petals on a dry, sunny day, preferably in the morning when the flowers are at their peak.
  • Use a pair of scissors or a sharp knife to carefully remove the petals from the rose, leaving the white base intact.
  • Spread the rose petals in a single layer on a wire rack or baking sheet and place them in a warm, dry place to dry for several hours.
  • Once the rose petals are dry, they can be stored in an airtight container in a cool, dark place for up to a year.
