| Hi all~
I just wanted to share this photo taken by me today. The roses in the bouquet are my pink Shining Hope aka Our Lady of Guadalupe roses, along with some Rose Petal Syrup that I made from my red roses which were blooming a few weeks ago. Delicious!!! The recipe is from Glynnis, a Cottage Garden friend of mine. I hope you enjoy my plonk...

| Oh!!! That's like a fairy-land photo (or something wonderfully sweet and precious) :) A poet I am not. :) But it's a heavenly picture. I don't know if I've ever seen a nicer picture in my life!!! And you made rose syrup!!! Is it for pancakes?? What does it taste/smell like? Can you share the recipe? Wow!! |
|
| That pic should be in a magazine! WOW! |
|
| Fantastic photo. I like the detail all the way down to the buds on the table, and the art on the cup. Everything looks good together, even the color of the syrup matching the center of the roses. Thanks for sharing |

| Oh, brav-O!!! |

| Thank you everyone, for your kind words!!! :D Canadian Rose (Carol)~ here is the quoted recipe as it appeared in the Cottage Garden forum, written by GGG: Rose petal syrup: 2 cups water, 4 cups petals, 2 cups sugar I did much the same with Red Clover but used more flowers and boiled, then turned it off and let the petals steep overnight, then strained it. Mostly just sweet but very good for you! Try it with lavender, lemonbalm (but it will be brown) and rosemary (over pound cake!!) p.s. You can drizzle rose syrup over waffles or pancakes, stir into your favorite beverage such as tea, lemonade or ice-water,or cocktails, -or- thicken with a little confectioner's sugar and use as a glaze for cakes or pastries. Cheers :) Becky |

| Becr, that is such a gorgeous, delicious photo! I thought it was a magazine beauty pic! that would even put Home & Gardens to shame, hehe! Beautiful petals and what a cascade of pink! The lighting in that photo with the beautiful arrangement is absolutely luminous! I love gourmet cooking and have only baked sugared rose petals--have never made them into honey yet...The only other rose endeavor I've made was making lovely rose flowers out of marzipan that I mixed with cherry preserves juice. The juice would turn the almond marzipan paste into a pink color... Because it was very sticky, I'd roll it between 2 sheets of wax paper and then cut strips and layer it and mold them into petal shapes... Alas, I couldn't find my own marzipan rose photos so that was why I didn't respond soon enough. I can't wait to try out your recipe---once I get all the roses to bloom 4 cups worth, hahaha! I've been hoarding all my roses and can't get myself to cut any! yet, but hopefully soon, if Fragrant Cloud and Aromatherapy continue goin' crazy with their blooms... |

| What a delightful picture. Great composition--It would make a great painting. You should send it to Victoria Magazine. May I join the tea party--It sounds wonderful Florence |

| Ohhh, Becky, this is such a precious photo!!! I couldn't let it just roll off Garden Web's Rose Gallery! It would be an awful shame to lose it. May I show this heavenly photo to my friends & family on Facebook? I will give the credit to you. Cheers and thank you sooo much for sharing this with us! It is a "dream come true" photo to be sure!!! :~) |
