Roses. White, red, pink, purple or orange. After the bloom, you'll soon find the fruit. This fruit can be eaten raw, dried, candied or made into preserves. Some species have pulpier, sweeter fruits than others.
The plant is prickly and shrubby with mostly rose pink, fragrant flowers. Easy to identify. Harvest the fruit in late fall or winter. I prefer "freeze-dried", or raisin like rose hips, after freezing winter winds have rolled through.
Squeeze the seeds out and enjoy a tasty, vitamin C rich snack!
