Re:Cucumber, Radish and Rose Petal Sandwiches Donna

[Guest guest]

I have some knock out roses(you don't have to prune those) and 3 things I

really love about them, is that they bloom their little hearts out from last

frost in spring until first hard frost in winter. Then all winter their

foliage turns red. They are very disease and pest resistant with no spray.

I've never eaten their petals though. Interesting to know about the dark and

light petals. Thanks donna, the flower recipe lady for more of those flower

recipes. You're truly are a flower child in more than one sense of the phrase.

LOL

 

Can't you just see Donna, sneaking around the nursery with her bag to put petals

in, quietly plucking off rose petal, while the nursery folks wonder what kind of

critter is defoliating the flowers............ Hee Hee ..............

Love ya, just kidding, my friend........ : > ))) You're probably good buddies

with that nurseryman..........

I have eaten rose petals for years and it doesn't have

to be a certain type of white ot pink rose. Those

just taste better, delicate flavor. The darker roses

are more of a bitter taste.

I have a nursery down the street I've pick them them

up from. He doesn't use sprays and I don't either.

Haven't had any problems with bugs. I prune them down

each winter and they grow right back up.
