RE: Companions for my Roses -Reply

Yes, nasturtiums are edible. My mother makes a cold green pea soup
and adds them as edible garnish.  She say's that they are a bit
peppery, but I will have to take her word for it as I haven't had the
nerve to taste them.  

Rose hips and petals are also edible. One friend says different types
can have different flavors.  Again I haven't try anything but rose
hip jelly, but the sheep love them (especially the pale colors with
less fragrant.)

I have some herbs planted with my roses that are always fun to cook
with. Rosemary for focaccia bread and chicken stir-fry. And I just
bought some Rue that is suppose to be great in mexican cooking and a
delightful little gray curry plant. Yum..

Dandilions if all else fails...eeekkkk.  
Just remember to wash out all the sap; icky tasting.
