: I have received a dozen roses and would like to dry them. How would I dry the flowers? Any ideas for arrangements, topiaries?
Well, first you take the flowers and put them into small bouqets (I don't think that's how you spell them but sorry.) Then you take a piece of string, about 8 inches long, and tie it tight enough around them stem of the flowers to hold them together, but not tight enough to cut into the stems. Use the remaining piece of the string to hang them upside down somewhere dark, dry and ventilated (closets are good) and in about 2 to 4 weeks they should be dry.
