I was a large increase (long) weekend, enjoy put me in touch with a variety of plants and animals. During a break at a ranger station, I admire the plants, as it seemed, a kind of tomato or red berries growing on the branches had to be. Ranger said, I saw a bush of red roses and fruit produced under the name of rosehip.
"Hip", I cried. I know that supplements in recent years, but have never seen one of flesh and bone hips. I told her hips in a rose after rose petals have died. Almost all varieties of roses produce hips, but the guard told me that Rosa rugosa form a variety of delicious, if you want to eat. Further investigation confirmed that Rosa rugosa is a delicious option shrub roses.
Why eat hips?
Perhaps the best reason to eat or drink a rose given a great source of vitamin C. Studies have shown vitamin C to fight infections, colds / flu, sore throat, fatigue and stress, help to name only some. Hips offer almost 20 times the amount of vitamin C in oranges found.

You can either fresh rose hips vine, dried or canned. Drying hip fruit spreads on a clean surface. Let dry until the skin starts to dry and feels slightly wrinkled. At this point between the two hips numbers and all the seeds and tiny hairs found in the middle. Remember, however, not aluminum pans or utensils as this can damage some vitamin C.
