What is the best way to dry and preserve roses?

Question:My husband gave me a beautiful boquet of roses for our aniversary and I would like to dry them out and keep them. What is the best way to do this. I want them to still be as beautiful as possible. Thanks a bunch!

Answers:
Arrange as you would like, tie around the stems with twine, and hang the bouquet upside down somewhere they won't be disturbed. The petal colors change when dried, and any greens you keep with them will look more dead than dried.

You can go to your local craft store and buy a shellac spray. They wont look dead, they will shine.
