Varieties

Thousands of hybrid varieties of rose exist, but the most popular for culinary use are rose damascena and the apothecary rose.

Buying and storing tips

Rose petals can be found primarily in specialty markets. Look for fresh blossoms with no signs of wilting or browning. Store them loosely packed in a plastic bag in the refrigerator. Or try using roses from the garden.

Preparation, uses, and tips

Immerse blossoms in cool water to flush out any tiny insects, and dry thoroughly in a salad spinner. Add to field greens or use as a garnish for desserts.

Nutritional Highlights

Not available. Edible flowers have not been well-studied for their nutrient content.
