Field Notes
Description:
"The rose hip, or rose haw, is the fruit of the rose plant, that typically is red-to-orange, but ranges from dark purple to black in some species. Rose hips begin to form in spring, and ripen in late summer through autumn. ... Rose hips are particularly high in vitamin C content, one of the richest plant sources available."
