In a small saucepan, combine the water and dried rose petals.

Bring to a boil, then stir in the granulated sugar and allow it to dissolve.

Simmer over low heat for 10 minutes.

Remove from heat. Allow petals to steep in the syrup for 1 hour, or until completely cool.

Pass through a fine mesh strainer to remove the petals.

Use rose simple syrup as desired. Store leftover syrup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 month.
