Yes I agree Dwyllis, and there are so many pretty ones around now and with gorgeous perfume.

Ah maybe, but these little dainties are the ones that started off all the breeding of todays' Roses, the simple Dog Rose or wild rose...

So pretty, I remember these in my Nan's Garden...:)) and the Hips always looked so nice, I'm sure she used to do something with them, but I can't remember now...getting old lol...

Did she make Rose Hip Syrup from them? I think it used to be used for a cough treatment, for sore throat, or as like a vitamin tonic, not quite sure about what it was used for, but I can definately remember it used for something. I will try and find out.

Hi Crissue, just ask the question and Spritz kindly reminded me it was used as a vitamin C in babies bottles.Perhaps your nan used to boil them up or something and used the water as a vitamin booster.

Morning Lin...It's quite possible...probably used to tie them in her muslin and extract the syrup by boiling...
I did spend a lot of time with her, so it's quite possible, it was used as part of our Vits...good ole nanny...:)))

I love roses. They are my favourite plant in the garden & there are so many of them to choose from. So versatile too & always look great in association with other plantings.
