I'll look for that recipe. I asked here how to make such a wine from similar syrups (which I could find at one point, but no longer), and was basically told to plant my own roses instead.
I notice on your blog that you pick the roses near roads. You don't expect them to be contaminated with all the crud that comes from partially burned petrol? Manganese (from MMT), etc....?
