  Sound utterly divine don't it?  That's definately something to try.  I
wonder how Mum would take it if I strip her rose garden right at it's peak?
Another question.  Do they have to be pink rose petals or can you use any
colour?  I know that the traditional one is pink and all the rose flavoured
things I've seen (mostly Turkish Delight is pink, but I can't remember if
they are the only edible colour roses.  Mum has some really nice orange
ones. Some advice please?
