Roses

Roses, Roses, glorious roses...My husband brought me some roses...and they were so beautiful.  Now they have died and I still can not part with them.  So I decided that I would make them into rose water.
Here is a recipe for you to try.
Take the rose petals off the stalk, and spread out in a gallon bucket of water. Distilled water is best. Let sit in the water for a few days, stir often.  Strain out the petals into a funnel into glass or aluminum bottles. Add spray tops and spray on your body. Not only does it cool you , you smell wonderful, and your skin will smile!!
Try some yourself. Good luck!

Another thing I love to do is to dry the roses..Just hang them upside down until they are dry! A year round arrangement.
