Hi...I have a yard full of roses, and though I am allergic as the dickens would like to utilize them somehow. ...so, I am attempting to dry the for "potpouri and things to trade for things I can use :) BUT, for the single petals, am not sure how to go about it..some of them are just soo fragile..and then one of my "beloved" pets decided to decimate a whole bunch of them whole on me, so now I have a couple of quarts of rose petals, and only one way to dry them..gasp..the oven. (Not enough racks, etc for outdoor drying..not in your financial bracket, so not buying racks either..I'm using the oven. However, wondering what they are good for now, as of course the aroma has dimmed. Any suggestions would be helpful. Feel free to email me at the address provided. Cool stories..made me giggle..had one like Georgio too..only not as rich.
