Paul,

Thanks for the compliment !

Indeed I have made wine with rose petals.
It is possible to freeze them just like dandelions !!!
Longest time they were in the freezer was about 8 months.
Pick them and freeze them until you will have enough to make
a batch, or save them for later use.

Last year I wrote a web-log entry about elderberries
which drew a lot of attention.

The method I use is as follows:

Pick the berries and pour then into a bucket with water.
The ripe ones will have sugar and therefore submerge.
The unripe ones are lighter and will float.

Look for photos on my web-log:

There was a lot of contravery about me saying to boil
the berries.
Elderberries have sambunigrin which may cause a lot of trouble
so I will always boil them.

Me port-style recipe is also on the same web-log page.

Besides all this:
I make about 20 to 30 batches every year from differet fruit
and ederberry wine is still the best.

Luc,

Very nice website, thanks for the reference. I see you make rose wine; I
make mead flavored with rose petals, about one quart of fresh petals per
gallon of must.
