I will have to try some of the recipes you have given.

They are a light to medium pink and very fragrant. I have processed the petals to make jelly, syrup, and wine. I also made some rose vinegar which turned a vibrant rose red color and smells like roses. The rose juice is actually a green but add lemon juice and something magic happens...it turns a beautiful deep rose color. The jelly tastes like the roses smell. I have also dried some of the petals. I have put them aside for my granddaughters weddings - whenever that happens. The hugh bush cranberries are setting fruit and the raspberries are in full bloom.....going to be a busy summer.
