Submitted by COOKGIRl

"I put this together quickly today while waiting for my tea to brew. Use your favorite fresh fruit in season. Note: the Recipezaar site was giving me grief by not allowing me to type: 1 rose bloom. You will need 1 rose bloom to complete this recipe. (Why insist on rose flour, not rose flower?!)"
