When drying white roses, is there any way to preserve the colour?

Question

I dry my roses by hanging them upside down in my closet, but the white ones always turn yellow as they dry. Is there any way to prevent this?

Answer 1

Yes, you can use silica gel or silica sand to dry them. It not only preserves the color, but it preserves the shape as well.
You can find this product at any art and craft store.

Answer 2

Drying roses won't provide you a end consequence like your roses at their most up to date factor. White will fade to a yellowish brown, and the scale will cut back because of fact the water is going. i'm getting good outcomes via striking bunches the different way up close to the tip of the stem, whilst dried you may spray on hairspray from the stems as much as the backside of the petals and that could help them carry for greater advantageous than one million twelve months. you may lose the leaves asap, so there is far less mess later.
