When making the rose potpourri you will want to use rose petals and buds, the yellow pansies, purple statice, red pepper berries, and myrtle mixed with the essential oil rose and the fixative orris root. Make sure to use 2 cups of the orris root for every 2 cups of the dried ingredients. Only moisten your orris root with the rose oil. There is no need to saturate this mixture.
