Sit on it.... lol
Reply:Roses don't press well because they are so meaty and the stems are thick. There is no fast way to press and dry flowers because if they are not dry enough the will spoil and go moldy. Try a picture from the net and use that.
Reply:You can't press a rose. You can press the petals and that's about it. However, if you want to preserve your rose then you can use Silica sand or Silica Gel which you can get at any craft store like Hobby Lobby. There are also other methods for preserving flowers, but they don't preserve the color and shape as well as the silica.
