I found what I believe are rose hips while out foraging. I can't seem to find if there are any poisonous berries that mimic the look of them. Does anyone have any information about this? The flowers are gone, so I cannot identify them, but the leaves look like rose leaves and there were thorns as well. Thank you!
@mandaramsey Why not take a cutting of the plant, and the berries, and ask them at your local nursery? Best to be on the safe side, when foraging! Also, your local branch of the United States Department of Agriculture should have free information and brochures about "weeds" that can help you.Thanks for your comment! ♥
Rose Hips are very power food/herbs which work on the Kidneys, Stomach and bladder working on your respiratory they're quite drying though so if you have a lot of heat in your body then its best not to add to the drying of the Yin.
good video...i ve just made rosehip syrup for the first time ever...it came out great. I'll be making a second batch as they are everywhere and no one else seems to want to pick them!
@19801290 Very nice as topping on icecream! But I suppose that's decadent of me. I've bought the ready-made stuff, from the baby's section of the supermarket, and used it like that. But it also makes a cool and refreshing cordial for adults in summertime--once they get used to the taste!
Does that produce an edible flower? I know that rose flower is edible never tried yet.... I like how you went into detail about the rose hips will be looking out for some....u gotta love freeeeeee food!!!!
@musclesmatthews Read "Ishmael"--by Daniel Quinn. It talks about societies that put the food under lock and key, and those that don't! It's very interesting and you'll enjoy it!
Nice...I wanna find some rose hips! Does it flower and produce an actual rose? I know from findings that rose is edible as well... I love that all this food is out there free for the taking....
Keep making edible plant vids I like them so much!
@musclesmatthews Yes it produces a beautiful fragrant pink flower. It's called Rosa rubiginosa and should be listed on US Department of Agriculture weed pages--which usually have excellent pictures compiled by botanical experts! You can eat the petals as well as the hips. The petals can be made into jam or syrup or rosewater--or used in salads. Authentic Turkish Delight uses real rose water.
@HairdoChicken Yummy! Your grandmother's rosehip jam sounds delicious. I know it's wicked of me, but I have even been known to buy babies' rose hip teething syrup--and pour it on vanilla ice cream as a topping! Aren't I decadent? I've never tried the jam made out of rosepetals, though. That would be interesting and fragrant, like rosewater, I suppose....
@zuditaka : I really enjoy watching your videos. When is it a good time to plant roses from seeds? Do I take the rose hips and take the seeds out? Then plant it? Or do I wait until it gets really cold to plant the seeds? Thank you.
@LaoSoftware Thank you for your kind comment. Where I am, there are cold winters, and we would plant our seed out in winter, hoping they'd come up--in springtime. But you are in a more tropical, warmer location, so I guess anytime would be good there. But in a cold climate, like mine, they could be started indoors, I suppose. Some seeds might have a CHILLING requirement, so experiment and put some seeds in the frig for a couple of weeks--for "stratification". Yes, take the seeds out of the pod.

@zuditaka My grandmother makes a beautiful rose jelly that has the consistancy of honey and is so delicious on toasted bread. MMM!
