Drying flowers?

I got some roses for my birthday and would like to dry them. What is the best way to do it?

Drying flowers?
Well whenever I get roses I try to dry them a few days after I get them....If they are wilted at all they usually fall apart instead of drying. I hang them upside down and spray them with hairspray. This keeps them from falling apart. Don%26#039;t hang them in a dark place because it takes a really long time to dry that way...hang them right out in the open where they can get some air. Within a week they should be totally dry! Well good luck! I hope this helps!
Reply:tie them together and hang them upsidedown.... some people spray hairspray on them... I dont though
Reply:spray them with hair spray and hang them upside down to dry for about a week or so they will get a little darker but should be fine the hair spray is for them to hold there shape
Reply:remove the thorns, bundle them together with a rubber band near the bottom and hang them upside down while they are still fresh. If you wait for them to die and dry up, the flowers will bend down and it will not look good, so basically you sacrifice the time while they are still alive to make them last forever once dried. No glue or hairspray is needed, they wil hold their shape fine.
