What can I put on dried roses to make them last?

My husband got me a dozen roses for our anniversary and I am making a box picture frame to put them in it. I want to know if there is something that I can put on them to make the last and maybe even glossy.

What can I put on dried roses to make them last?
Krylon sells a clear protective spray that you can get at most craft stores. Hang the roses upside down and dry them before spraying.
Reply:Put it inside a book and wait for two to three days
Reply:What I did before, was: place them and roll them in newspaper, after a couple of months ,or once they are completely dry, spray hairspray on it, they will look straight and shiny.
Reply:Spray them with hairspray and then hang them upside down. They will turn a dark red with a little black and still be fragile but for the most part it will keep them from falling apart.. Good Luck!!
