Wild Rose ("Rosa rugosa") has several edible parts. Sprinkle the flower petals onto salads and use the fruit for tea, jam or as a nibble.

My grannie used to say, you don't need to find roses an raspberries...they find you. 😉 My scarred up legs can attest to this. Thanks.

Oh yes, My legs have had many scratches but these fruits are worth the trouble. I'll often bring along so long socks & put them on before I start collecting to minimize the damage! also I've had some negative encounters with yellow jackets who come out of nowhere looking for trouble. (I have some plantain along to rub on stings so they don't hurt so much. Wasn't the boy scout motto --maybe girl scouts too-- "Be Prepared'?)

You're the best, thanks for the info. I wanted a good rose for rose hips, you delivered

So many cultivated ones are fussy and hard to grow. Rosa Ragosa is often found in the wild and takes care of itself;it produces such big hips and beautiful petals without having to be coaxed.

@jlbleeker I'm glad you liked my video. Rose hips are very healthy and have been used by many cultures. Enjoy! There is so much bounty around us, we just need to take advantage of it.

Thank you Blanche, You've given me some great ideas. This is the first year I've harvested rosehips and they've been most enjoyable. I stored them in snap lock bags in the refrigerator and found very little degradation even 3 months later. I still have a heap to go. Amazing that the vitamin C is of such high concentration. I'd love to own a press to get the oil from the seeds but that will be next year fingers crossed.

@@thederb720 Nice to hear from you and thanks for your well wishes. I just watched your video and after 7 years I don't recall having watched it! Its like brand new again. Great to be reminded of the high vitamin C content in this overlooked fruit. I did end up getting an oil press but found that the wild roses in the area I was living at that time down in the south Island of New Zealand, were introduced by the Chinese gold miners a hundred or more years ago, had small hips and were quite dry when I pressed them. Not a drop of oil in a sack of rose hips with my press. The Chinese perhaps fed and tended to the plants and the hips were larger back then or they variegated over time. All the best for the next 7 years!

@4GreenEarth2 They are so distinctive & huge compared to the hips of other roses. If you ever visit towns on Cape Cod (Massachusetts) you'll see them growing in great profusion--guess they like the salt air.

@thederb720 11 жыл бұрын

That's why I like the bigger Rugosa roses--there's more fruit.I eat the flowers too, but if you're careful in picking the petals off, a hip will still form at their base.Garden variety roses are fine but it's more work to get the pulp.

I’ve had a wild rose bush in my yard for many years now and I’m wondering if it’s a edible species. It has pastel pink petals and a slightly lighter middle and the flowers also seem smaller than the ones in the video and also there’s thorns that go all the way up and onto the leaves and are soft when they first come in the thorns are also red and there’s a brown stem.

@thederb720 2 жыл бұрын

Most likely it is edible. The rose I featured in my video has exceptionally large hips and flowers--that's why I like it.

I like munching off the hips while they're still crunchy and just avoid the seeds and hairs beneath. My favorite way of using roses is for rose water. I collect pettals and steeping them in heated water with a lid on untill it cools. The lid makes it so as little essence escape as possible, since it's so volatile. Then I add a tad bit of alchohol to help preserve it along with refrigeration. I probably could distill to make it more potent, but I like how it tints the water personally.

@thederb720 4 жыл бұрын

I do something similar to your rose water recipe. I add a little sugar to the hot water along with some squirts of orange juice or lemon, cover it and let it sit in a cool place for 2 days, stirring occasionally. Then I strain out the petals & pour the mix into ice cube trays .( By letting it sit with some sugar added, I believe that's probably equivalent to what you do when you add alcohol ?

@ornokur6315 4 жыл бұрын

@@thederb720 It seams very much similar, the sweetening and acidification of the rosewater likely dose a good job of preserving it as well. I use the alchohol to kill any microorganisms that may try to grow in the soultion. It's probably prety good for preventing oxidation especially, I use lemon juice plenty to keep sliced apples from browning, and as a nice sour dressing.

Thank you Blanche. As the governments around the western world continue encroaching on farmers and natural food growers, forcing people to kill their bees and use government approved fertilisers knowing this may one day mean the difference between if not life and death, then hunger and satiation

cooking may destroy SOME of C vitamin, making jam you lose some 30 - 40 %. If you just dry them naturally and then make tea, then you will get most of it

Hello Blanche! I’m really interested in this rose bush, I am dreaming of a wild edible yard, would you happen to know where I can get one of these plants??? If not, would you consider sending me a young plant??? I’ll be more than happy to pay for it, your time and postage! I have a question that is off track here and hope you can answer it, i went looking for hen bits yesterday, I also found chickweed (1st time to recognize chickweed) 😃, I also found lots of wild onion/garlic, I harvested about 3-5 lbs of the latter, (not the bulb, I cut off the tops and plan to dehydrate them) would you know of an easier/faster way to remove the outer dead stuff without having to strip them one at a time??? Thank you

@thederb720 Жыл бұрын

Believe it or not, I just came across this comment…sorry for the very late answer! I would think your local garden center might have this plant. I’ve seen it grown around college campuses here and also in parks-I t’s no longer just confined to growing along the seashore. I don’t sell plants as sending plants in the mail might be a problem with different areas of the country because it may be invasive there.

+maria arevalo I prefer "Rosa rugosa" the one featured here in my video because it has the biggest hips & large, fragrant petals--you get more from it than other varieties. However, all rose hips & petals are edible; just make sure not to consume roses bought from a flower shop or ones that have been sprayed.
