Rose Hip fruit has been utilized for centuries by native peoples. It has more vitamin C than most of our cultivated food crops, including citrus. Used dried, fresh, for soups, teas, jams and jellies, also in baking. Keeps well, and may be harvested in the winter. There are many seeds in the fruits to propagate for your own homegrown vitamin C. Definitely worth growing and saving the seeds.

I have wild rose bushes growing everywhere. If any plant will survive the pole shift it will be the wild rose. I have tried for 10 years to keep them under control to no avail. Cut them back and they come back in 100 different areas from underground.
