How can I dry flowers before they die?

I love roses, carnations and tulips. How to dry them and keep them clean and dust free?

How can I dry flowers before they die?
The answers that you have received are absolutely correct.

I have dried Roses as well as Carnations. I don't believe Tulips can be dried. I have not had a problem with them needing to be dusted. I have after I placed the dried flowers in an arrangement I spray with cheap hair spray. It enhances the color and helps the petals stay in tact..
Reply:Hang them upsidedown in a well ventilated area out of direct sunlight. I've never tried roses. To clean dust off of them (silk flowers too) Put some salt (a cup or so) in a zip-lock bag. Put flowers in bag and shake gently. When the salt gets dirty, change it and continue. Have fun!
Reply:Hang them upsidedown in a very dry room
