I made this recipe and it is wonderful! I will make it again come summer. I used wild rose petals from the forest. The vanilla actually over powered the roses, so next time I will double the rose petals. Thanks so much for sharing this.

I agree with greenpa- I like roses. But only the ones that grow in gardens, preferably with a nice frilly open look to them.

I am going to try making the rose liquor!

Wow, thank you for this. I love eating roses, have since I was a child and my mother taught me to. As soon as the small wild pink roses bloom they will go into this recipe.

This sounds absolutely delicious! Too bad I don't have roses or a friend with roses :( But, when I do, I'm looking forward to making this!

At the hottest part of the day? Hm. I have a distinct recollection that roses gathered for perfume making are picked before the sun hits them in the morning.

I could be wrong, for sure, and there might be other reasons.

More study is called for, I think. :-)

I've paid attention to the fragrance of roses for a very long time. My mother was very fond of them, and my father tried to grow some, wherever we were. It was pretty tricky in Guam and Hawaii.

For me it was the fragranceS. Great differences between types, all fascinating, but some just paralyzingly wonderful.

So. I loathe and abominate the beautiful roses in the cooler at the florists and the grocery store. Beautiful; yes; but all but odorless. It offends me, hugely. I know that sounds weird, and probably pretentious- but it's the real truth.

A rose with no fragrance is an unforgivable insult to the universe.

Good luck with yours! And shop around for some different fragrances. If anyone near you has old-fashioned roses- check into it.

That sounds fabulous! And what a timely post! I was just about to go prune the roses ... lots of red blooms out there (and yellow and white and pink ...) Thanks!

That sounds great! Now if I can just get your brother to teach me to make limoncello!
