Slice the goat cheese into 1/2-inch cubes. In a small bowl, combine the goat cheese with lemon zest, peppercorns, and olive oil. Toss and refrigerate overnight.
Grind sugar rose petals in blender to make a powder and transfer to a small bowl. Dip each watermelon cube into the rose petal powder to coat. Remove goat cheese cubes and reserve the citrus oil.
