Enjoy Everyone! Rose Potpourri If you have already dried your roses, you can make a great potpourri quite simply by mixing a quart or rose petals with three tablespoons of orris root and a drop or two of rose essential oil. Allow the mix to sit for a couple of weeks, and add more oil if needed. More complicated potpourris can be made by mixing up whatever combination of dried flowers, herbs and oils that you like. Roses and lavender are particularly nice together. Mix equal parts of dried lavender and rose petals and add a few drops of rose and lavender essential oils. These potpourris make great gifts and hold their scent for about a year. The orris root helps the mixture hold its color.
