[Sca-cooks] Roses to grow and cook with

[Stefan li Rous]

Helen mentioned:

<<< BTW-there are a large number of Period Edible Flowers.? Roses,  
marigold, pansy and violets are what floats to the top of my very  
tired brain at the moment. Again, check with your local Organic  
Gardening Group. They will know what works best for your climate. >>>
