This is probably a stupid question, but when you make rose wine out of
petals, do they need to smell?

I have a rose bush that is really blooming right now. I smelled a
flower or two and they have absolutly no smell! Nada! Zilch!

Will they still do their thing even if they have no smell when picked?

Thanks for any help!

If it's not there in the raw ingredients, it won't be there in the wine.
