Are Teddy Bear roses edible?

Question

I have some recipes for candied rose petals, rose jam, and rose punch that I'd really like to try, but the only roses still in bloom in my yard are the Teddy Bear roses. I asked my parents what they thought and they said they probably aren't edible, because they seem really different from normal roses. Are they?

Answer 1

Sweetie, I'd call your local librarian and see if they have a book on edible flowers. I'm not sure if all roses are edible. You could Google it, but I would not trust what you find online when it comes to eating plants that your not sure about.

Answer 2

IDK

what made you interested in roses as a diet.

Answer 3

I don't think so. Try looking it up on a well trusted site.
