About Rose petals

Rose petals are the soft, usually fragrant petals from rose flowers, with colour and aroma varying by variety. Fresh petals are tender and delicate; dried petals are lighter, brittle and more concentrated in aroma. Their flavour can be floral and mildly sweet, though some petals have a more pronounced bitter or perfumed edge.

Food-use petals may be used fresh as a garnish or dried for infusions and culinary preparations such as syrups or preserves. They are sold fresh or dried, whole or as fragments. Flowers intended for food use should be distinguished from ornamental flowers whose treatments and handling may differ.
