Combine sugar and water in a saucepan over medium heat.

Stir the mixture until the sugar dissolves completely, about 5 minutes.

Add the rinsed rose petals to the saucepan and bring to a simmer.

Cook the mixture for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until petals soften.

Add lemon juice and vanilla extract for flavor.

Remove from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.

Pour the jam into sterilized jars while still warm.

Seal the jars tightly and allow to cool completely at room temperature.
