Hi, use a rubber band to hold the stems together then, spray the roses with aerosol hair spray, next step is hang them upside down and let them dry for a couple of days! easy.

I have a big bunch of very special roses that I dried and put in a vase. After a while they began to lose color and some lost their petals. I took a syringe and squirted glue, carefully, between the petals and once the glue was dried, I sprayed the flowers with a spray lacquer. The lacquer enhanced the color and gave the petals a gloss, which is actually quite interesting. Keeping the flowers away from bright sunlight will help to preserve the color.

Lay them out on a table, pyramid style,like, one at the top, then two, then three,and so on, then take a piece of lace or ribbon and tie it around the middle of the stalks,bunching them together, but keeping the form of the pyramid, then hang upside down by the lace or ribbon by a nail or picture hanger. They dry and make a unique display.

Silica powder. You bury the rose, just the rose in this powder available from craft stores. (do all this carefully!) Keep the powder covered....usually do this in a box...and after several weeks or month or so, careflly uncover them. There are instructions galore on the web or books at the library.

I spray a product used to dry flowers, if not I use hairspray...then i use a thread to attack EACH flower separately and hang them upside down until they are completely dry...

Depends how you want to dry them. I put mine in a book and put something heavy ontop till they are good and dry. You can also put a flower in a dehydrater.

Well I have done this several times. I just hung them in a bunch upside down, before they get to wilted.

i always hang then individually upside for an extended period of time...i think there are some preservative sprays for after they are completely dried...they will be very fragile though...so be careful
