Grab a clean glass, such as a wine glass or a flute, and place your first salami slice half-way over the rim.
12 slices Salami
Take another slice of salami and place it right next to the first slice.
Continue to place your third, fourth and rest of salami slices next to the previous one. You will complete about 2 circles, overlapping the previous row with the last row.
When done, placing the salami slices over the rim, carefully turn the glass upside down so that the salami rose shape comes to light on the working surface.
At this point, your salami rose is ready and can be placed on a serving platter with other cured meats and cheese. You can arrange the slices a bit too so that it appears more like a rose.

Notes
Use a glass which is about 2 inches (ca. 5 cm) in diameter at most. In the video, we had a beer glass with a stem, but a white wine glass will do the job too or a champagne flute. I don't recommend using larger diameter glasses because the overlapped salami slices won't hold to form a rose.
Get thinly sliced salami which is flexible enough to be placed around the glass rim. But make sure the salami doesn't fall apart that easily.
Depending on the salami type, size, and the glass diameter, you will need about 12 to 16 slices. We used 13 slices in the video.
I recommend getting Italian or Hungarian salami. Avoid French style salami because they tend to be smaller in diameter.
Get salami slices that are about 2 to 3 inches (ca. 5 to 8 cm) in diameter. If the salami slices are bigger than the recommended diameter, you will have a harder time overlapping them over each other to create a rose, too small and the rose will fall apart.
You can prep the rose in advance but keep it in the fridge until serving time because you don't want the salami sitting out for far too long.
