I've always read about them in books, but never really noticed them in person before. Finally, this autumn, I've seen them in abundance!
Rose hips are the fruit of the rose plant. The ones I've seen have been more orange than red. They are jam-packed with vitamin C.
Hips, also known as haws, are used by people to make tea and jelly. However, people can be out-competed by the many wild animals that eat them too, such as rabbits, squirrels, and deer. So don't delay - gather ye rose hips while ye may!
