Saving a flower?
All of the above or freeze the rose
Reply:spray wtih hair spray (areo), arrange them between wax paper, then put them in an Atlas with about 4 or 5 orther heavy books on top of the Atlas.......leave about untill totally dry........then spray with hairspray......
Reply:Before they start to brown, hang them upside down by their stems. They will dry and retain most of their shape and color (white ones don%26#039;t do well, hopefully yours are red or pink!).





Then you can keep them all in a vase or whatever...
Reply:You can either dry them .. or can press them in a book! My best friend froze her carnation she recieved for prom! Really it is just a matter of which way you%26#039;d rather have it! They fall apart when dry%26#039;d and sometimes turn out really pretty if pressed correctly! My friends frozen flower was still as pretty as it was when she recieved it..just froze! Hope I helped!
Reply:Press them in the pages of a thick book.





First, wrap the flower in wax paper. Then use whatever heavy object to press it flat
Reply:I have a product that is for drying flowers that is made from silica gel. You bury the flower and it eventually dries it in just a couple weeks or so. It dulls the color but maintains the shape beautifully. I%26#039;ve dried everything from small flowers to large sunflowers.





The gel can be %26quot;reactivated%26quot; by baking in the oven (it just dries it back out). I%26#039;ve had mine for probably 20 years.
