Freeze dried roses?

I don't know anything about flowers, and I hope I haven't posted this already a couple months ago...

I want yellow roses, and I've found freeze dried ones on Save-on-crafts.com (link here) I don't know if they are good or worth it. I'm not using a florist, we are DIYing flowers and I really want a yellow rose bouquet. Are freeze dried roses good? I don't want to spend the money if they wont be good.

    not good for bouquets... they are really crispy and fragile and will take a major beating... 

    Just order a sheet or two of fresh roses  and use the real thing... Its not that difficult and will look a lot better.

    Thank you! I'm glad I didn't waste $25 on them! =)

    When you get flowers frmo florists, they are shipped from all over the world and often dehydrated for the shipping and then the florist rehydrates them (I was informed about this in a flower class by a local florist)...not sure if that's what you are talking about and I don't know how to bring them back.

    I would recommend buying flowers from a bulk market place or costco (less than $15 for 2 dozen roses). Sounds a lot easier! 

    Good luck!!!
