Prepare the Pastry
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry into a thin rectangle
Using a round cutter or glass (approximately 4 inches/10cm diameter), cut circles from the pastry
Form the Roses

Position an upside-down wine glass in the center
Create 4-5 evenly spaced pleats around the glass
Gently twist each pleat outward to form petals
Press the pastry against the glass to maintain shape
Carefully lift the glass straight up
Repeat with remaining circles, spacing them 2 inches apart
