To crystallise the roses: Make sure they have not been treated with any pesticides if you are planning on eating them as well. Peel off the petals and shake them out to dry on some kitchen paper. Break up the egg white in a bowl with a fork until it is a bit frothy. Paint the rose petals very lightly with egg white and then dip in the sugar until nicely coated. Place on kitchen paper to dry until ready to use.
