Rose is one of the nature’s most beautiful creations and is
universally extolled as the ‘‘Queen of Flowers’’. Rose is the
top ranking cut flower in the flower trade on the basis of
average production and consumption. Rose flowers are
diverse having exquisite shape, size, and beautiful colours.
There is a non-availability of fresh flowers of roses all
round the year in all places [1]. In this context rose flowers
can be dried, preserved and processed to retain its beauty as
well as everlasting value. The use of dried flowers has
made it possible to enjoy their beauty for several years. The
beauty and value of the dried flowers are that they can be
kept and cherished for years, which survive the cold of
winter and heat of summer [2]. Dried and preserved
ornamental products offer a wide range of qualities like
novelty, longevity, aesthetic properties, flexibility and year
round availability [3].With growing eco-consciousness, the
use of more and more nature-friendly things has become a
natural choice for decoration. Future prospects of the dry
flower industry are expected to contribute a lot to the
country’s economy in comparison to the fresh cut flowers
and other live plants [4]. Considering the potential of
Dutch roses in dry flower trade, an attempt was made in the
present investigation to determine the best mode of desiccation,
best cultivar and best time level for drying rose
flowers in electrically operated micro wave oven
