Because real roses just don't taste very good.

Mmmmmm...bacon roses... -

BACON - (1 regular pack & 1 thick cut pack); Rose Stems; Glass Vase; Mini Muffin Pan; Broiler Pan; Drill with 1/8 bit; -
3.
Place the muffin pan on top of the broiler pan. -
4.
Drill holes in the bottom of the muffin pan. This will allow the grease to drain when cooking the bacon. -
5.
Preheat the oven to 375 deg. Fahrenheit; Open the bacon and begin tightly rolling the roses, one piece at a time. -
6.
Start with the widest end of the bacon, with the fat edge down. I like to use a combination of thick and thin bacon so I end up with a variety of rose shapes. -
7.
Place all of the bacon in the muffin pans pushing down slightly. -
8.
Pull all of the roses off from the stems. Pull the green backing off from the rose and then separate it into individual parts. -
9.
Discard petals & center red piece. Reassemble remaining green parts. Put green piece back on stem, but force it down so approx 1 inch of stem protrudes -
10.
Put the stems in your vase and fill with gravel or marbles to hold them in place. -
11.
Place in the oven and cook for 30-40 minutes. Check in on them occasionally. Sometimes you will have to lift the rose so the grease will drain out the pan. -
12.
When the bacon buds are done, remove from the oven and place on paper towel to cool. -
13.
Pick your favorites and slide them onto the protruding stems. -
14.
Arrange the roses to your liking and then present the aromatic bouquet to your favorite bacon fanatic! -

Last but not least: PREPARE TO GET LAID!
