Make Rosewater! There are so many uses for it.

Press one in a book. After it is done flattening and drying, put it in a picture frame or a type of shadow box. Hang a dozen upside-down in a cool dry area so they can dry, then keep them in a dry vase in a special place. Take the petals from the other 11 and lay them out on some paper towels for about 2 or 3 weeks to dry then put them into a pretty dish with some cinnamon sticks or other dried petals and make potpourri.

Make potpourri.
Make beads.
Use them in decoupage.
After the petals are well dried, you might even try making little sachets to scent your dresser drawers.

You could put them in a vase, or you could put them in little glass jars and add scent to them as a room deodorizer..
