Rose jelly is amazing, but we do not use much jam or jelly at the farm because it is made with white sugar generally. I have found a recipe for honey jelly and it would be worth a try. To make the rose infused oil, petals should be layered in a sterile jar, sans bugs, and the jar then filled with the oil of choice. The oils that are the least fragrant on their own, such as macadamia nut or rice bran are excellent for true rose scents. The jar can be located in a sunny window for several weeks, turning the contents upside down twice daily to ensure the oil is penetrating each petal. Then the petals are strained from the oil and voila! rose infused oil ready to use as is or to add to lotions, salves and creams for soft, fragrant skin. And to think, this is all free from nature! Amazing.
