Valentines roses may represent fond memories and there is nothing wrong in preserving those memories. Today in our All About Roses Series we will be drying some roses which can be used as potpourri, decorations, herbal tea, rose bath bag or used in various skin care routine. We will use ours in Rose Bath Bag (recipe follows).
Drying Petals
Pluck the petals gently. Place clean and washed petals on a screen, drying rack in a well ventilated place (not under direct sun). It may take 1-2 weeks to dry completely, rotate the sides from time to time for even drying. Store in a airtight container.
Now that you have dried roses with you, you can use it in our Rose Bath Bag recipe.

All you need is
– Cheesecloth or toe of nylon sock
– 4 tbsp dried rose petals
– 1 tb sp. Ground oatmeal
– 5-10 drops of Rose oil

Place dry ingredients in the center of cloth to or in sock toe. Add oil. Tie and hang it in the tub in a way that hot water will flow through it or be submerged in water. Soak yourself 15-20 minutes and enjoy relaxing bath.
Simply multiply the recipe and store it in a jar. No refrigeration required. Use as needed and enjoy your valentine long after its gone.
