Using Roses
Most floral shop roses are grown in greenhouses and sprayed with pesticides. Once the flowers are cut, they are treated with Silver Thiosulfate and fungicide for botrytis and other molds.
The growing conditions are carefully monitored to match US requirements, but the flowers are not suitable for food use or skin use, so be careful if saving floral shop roses to use in tea or cosmetics.
