how to preserve roses
Spraying the roses with hair spray will help to seal the roses. Place the roses in a food dehydrator for approximately 8 to 24 hours to dry and preserve the roses. When using the dehydrator, place the roses on the dehydrator racks, but do not allow the blooms to touch. The dehydrator temperature should be set to 95 to 100 degrees Fahrenheit. Place a few roses in your microwave, loosely covered by paper towels. Turn on the microwave for approximately one to two minutes.
