Marilyn,

    My grandmother told me that when she was a girl they somehow pressed
    rose petals into little round balls and made beads of them. I have
    seen necklaces made of these beads (very old). Actually it was fairly
    common when I was a girl to see rosaries made of "rose" beads - and
    some of them were carved, so the bead got very hard. Sorry, I don't
    know the process for making them but it had to be something fairly
    simple with common ingredients. The beads smelled faintly of roses.
    Hopefully someone will have better information. 

    Thanks for asking the question - it brought up some nice memories.
