Arrange slices overlapping: Lay the thin nectarine slices in a straight line on a flat surface, overlapping each slice slightly over the previous one. This forms the base of your rose.

Overlap consistently to maintain a uniform shape when rolling. About a third to half of each slice should overlap.

Gently roll the slices: Starting from one end, carefully and tightly roll the entire line of overlapping nectarine slices into a spiral. Keep the roll firm but don't squeeze too hard.

Practice makes perfect! If slices tear, simply adjust and continue rolling. The inner slices will form the bud.

Fan out the 'petals': Once rolled, gently fan out the outer edges of the nectarine slices to create the appearance of open rose petals. Adjust until you achieve a beautiful, natural rose shape.
