This is a beautiful luncheon salad.

1/2 cup water
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 bottle ros?wine or pink champagne
Rose buds
2 cups seedless white grapes
Fresh mint

Sprinkle gelatine over 1/2 cup water in a saucepan. Place on low heat, stirring until dissolved. Add sugar. Stir until dissolved. Remove from heat. Add ros?wine or pink champagne. Refrigerate until it begins to slightly mound.

Pour about 1/2 cup to 1 cup into mold and arrange washed rosebuds in inverted fashion so as to be attractive when unmolded. Chill until firm.
