PRODUCT SUMMARY
The fruits that Roses produce are known as rosehips or rose hips, also called as rose haw, in the early summer, and where they ripen into the late autumn, these are enjoyed as an edible food by animals and humans alike. For centuries, these have provide nutrients during times when most other plants have finished producing. They develop as the flowers drop off of wild roses, and they have the most concentrated sources of vitamin C available. It has tart flavor and it can be used to make jelly, jam, soup or oil, or can be alternatively used to flavor tea. The British government have made syrup as a source of vitamin C to replace citrus fruits during the World War II, and they also have a long history in traditional medicine.
