All the books I've read about eating rose petals say the red ones are tastiest. But I disagree - at least based on the roses here at Haphazard Homestead. I have red, yellow, white, pink, orange/yellow, and even a blue rose. Every one of them tastes better than any of my red roses. This deep red rose is pretty, but it has a strong tannin flavor and is astringent like an unripe persimmon. Not my favorite!
