Rose hips are the small, round fruits that develop on rose plants after the flowers have bloomed. They are typically red or orange and can vary in size, often resembling small berries. Rose hips are rich in vitamins, particularly vitamin C, and have been used in traditional medicine for their potential health benefits.
These fruits can be harvested in late summer to early fall and are often used to make teas, jams, and jellies. Additionally, rose hips are sometimes included in herbal remedies and supplements due to their antioxidant properties and potential to support immune health.
