Gathering Roses for Cooking

*Mother's Day Collection-Gather roses just as they are opening; full blown roses have less fragrance and may taste slightly bitter. It's best to do this early in the morning before the dew has left them. Keep in mind that the color and scent of the roses you select will be transformed into the cooked product. Wash roses thouroughly but gently with a spray of water or by immersing them in water. (If you have used a pestiside on your roses, be sure to check the label for the length of time that must elaspe before the poison is no longer dangerous). Break off petals, remove white pulpy base and discarding seeds. Drain in colander; use as directed.(Source: Dorothy Dean)
