Botanical Name: Rosa Canina Plant Family: Rosaceae Origins: Chile
Rose hips, the fruit of the plant, develop on wild roses, appearing in early summer, ripening throughout the season and into autumn, and are harvested as the flowers drop off. Also known as the “rose haw”, these fruits are one of the most concentrated sources of vitamin C available. They add a gentle and unique flavor to teas, tinctures, and select culinary creations.
