However your reason for do that, this is the section where you will learn to dry your roses properly.
There two ways that you can dry your roses that are a cheap and relatively easy.

Air Drying
Air drying is by far the easiest and cheapest method of drying flowers including roses. It is simple; all you have to do is follow these simple instructions.
1. Start with perfect and unflawed roses on their stems. If the roses are not in perfect condition, they will wither and the
petals will fall off.
2. Remove any leaves that may be on the branches.
3. Bunch them up together in a manner that lets them fan out.
4. Tie the bottom with string or a rubber band.
5. Hang them upside down in a dark, dry place for two to three weeks to be certain that they are completely dry.

Sand Drying
1. Start by picking the roses that are in perfect condition. They shouldn’t have any dew on them and the stems should be dry as well.
2. You can reinforce the stems and blossom with either white glue or florist wire.
3. For florist wire, you will want to cut off most of the stem. Leave about one inch of stem.
4. Push about 3 inches of wire through the stem and rightthrough the flower head.
5. Next, you want to bend the end of the wire into a hook over each rose head and pull it down. This helps to keep the head secured to the stem.
6. When choosing to use the glue, begin by diluting the glue in a dab of water.
7. You will take a toothpick and dab a thin coat of the glue mixture at the base of each petal.
8. Next, you will work the glue into the base of the stems of each flower so that you can attach each petal to the base, wait till the glue dries completely
9. Now for the sand, slowly and carefully cover the flowers with sand in deep open boxes.
10. Make the sand in the box deep enough to hold the flowers upright.
