They are called Rose hips because the fruit is the pregnant rose flower turned into a pregnant form and it looks like a women's hips while she is fertile and wants to give birth or pregnant.
It's very informative. I just arrived at my parents and they have A LOT of rose hips. I was thinking of harvesting them, but I am glad I watched your video. Hopefully there will be a frost this week before I drive back home.
Yay! You could give them a try now and see if they're to your liking (though expect something tart). Sometimes they have very little flavor at all. It mostly depends on the variety you have. Good luck and happy foraging! :)
Like Shakira says, Hips Don't Lie. Thanks for the info. There are tons of Rosehips here in Salem, Oregon right now and I'm just getting into this, so your video was very informative for me.
I found some of that fruit by a river close to where I live and I thought the were small pomegranates or some kind of poisonous berries they were about an inch tall and more of a red orange color I might go get some but they were also growing next to this other plant which had dark purple berries growing on a purple stem I believe they are called a pokeweed plants not sure though
Sounds good! Pokeweed is edible when it's young and if you prepare it correctly, here's some more info on that: www.eattheweeds.com/can-be-deadly-but-oh-so-delicious-pokeweed-2/
THANK YOU for the video!!! We have LOTS around here and I just wasn't sure WHEN to forage and how they can be used in Tea.👍 God bless.🙏 Keep up the good work.
Is there a way that a person can actually download these transcripts?? Sometimes because of a hearing issue it's hard to follow you they're going to be nice to have it where I could look back to it... ?🤔
Can I harvest when they are bright red into dark red but still hard? I want to try and scoop the seeds while they are hard and then try to let them ripen on the pan?
I think the main concern with cultivated rose hips is that they might be sprayed with dangerous chemicals. Also I'm sure not all varieties taste good. But I'm still looking for a definite answer 🤷🏻♀️
Yup, they're the fruit of the rose plant. Though I usually avoid cultivated varieties, as they're often sprayed with dangerous chemicals. Keep in mind that roses aren't grown for food, so there's fewer regulations about growing and handling them.
New subscriber here! I found you after searching for Caucasian rosehip. I want to add rosehip to my land to cultivate. Any suggestions? Specifically the Caucasian variety, unless there is a similar variety state side.

Thanks! That was very helpful! Our yard grew lots of roses this year and I needed to know when to harvest them.

Thank you for this informative vlog. My yellow rose plants have been forming rosehips. Thus, I'm gathering information about the topic.
Exciting!
@@fourseasonforaging, I saw that they were pollinated by bees.
I'm going to plant seeds .. this is exciting
Rugosa variety is what we used when I was a kid ,we had a hedge of them. We used petals for jam and hips were so big that we just ate them fresh.
That's amazing!
Thank you for sharing your time & talents. I am new to foraging and this lesson was so helpful. I now will be on the look out for some rose hips. :)
Thank you for your kind words! :) I hope you find some tasty rose hips to eat!

I just bought a Rosa nutkana, foe the rose hips. Looking for info. About wild roses I got into your video. I am glad I found your video.
THANK YOU for the video!!! We have LOTS around here and I just wasn't sure WHEN to forage and how they can be used in Tea.👍 God bless.🙏 Keep up the good work.
I found the wild one this morning ❤❤
Yay! :)
The hip of the rose (flower). Your hip is what supports you.
Thank you! Learned a lot with your video.
You're welcome! I'm glad to hear it. :)
I simply love your content. It's always unusual and always something to learn from!
Cheers from the other side of the world ☺️

Aw, thank you! :)

Sorry but I don't think there's a way to do that! RUclips should have auto-generated captions though
Can I harvest when they are bright red into dark red but still hard? I want to try and scoop the seeds while they are hard and then try to let them ripen on the pan?
It sounds like they are ripe! You can definitely harvest them before the frost, it's just a matter of preference
How to grow them?
Thank you
Do you have any wild food books you recommend?
Yes, there are many great ones out now! I would suggest starting with Sam Thayer's books
Did anyone find a scholarly article about whether cultivated rose hips are edible or not? 🕵️
I think the main concern with cultivated rose hips is that they might be sprayed with dangerous chemicals. Also I'm sure not all varieties taste good. But I'm still looking for a definite answer 🤷🏻♀️
Will they grow on rose plants you buy at the store?
Yup, they're the fruit of the rose plant. Though I usually avoid cultivated varieties, as they're often sprayed with dangerous chemicals. Keep in mind that roses aren't grown for food, so there's fewer regulations about growing and handling them.

Sorry, I'm more of a forager than I gardener! I would check with local nurseries or maybe a university extension office
Is the German name of these caled Hagebutten
Yes!
Is there a way to ripen the green ones?
Not that I know of. I'm doubtful they would turn out well.
Did you research the endangered varieties?
There are no endangered roses where I live. You'll have to check the legislation for your region
Come back it’s spring
I'll be making new videos soon!
🙏
You’re welcome! :)
