What to do with leftover roses

[floralane]

Does anyone have any unique ideas for what to do with left over roses? Something besides pot pourri, and the usual dried arrangements. I have about 200 assorted colors left over from Valentines Day, of course they are not saleable, but still are decent to dry. I hate to just throw them away, or wait for them to drop their petals.

I used to dry them, but after awhile I got tired of the dust they collected, so out they went.

make glycerin guest soaps and put the roses inside them.

Soaps are very easy to make, most craft shops have the supplies and there are directions online too. I even added photos to the tops of some of the ones I did, that's a bit trickier to keep the ink from smearing if you print at home. You can get very creative with them.

They are clear glycerin soaps, you'd be able to see the rose inside. oooooooooooo..
