Rose hip

People discovered the beneficial properties of rose hips many centuries ago. Since then, a large number of cultivated varieties have been bred, allowing you to enjoy not only the luxurious appearance of flowers, but also obtain valuable fruits. Apparently, the plant got its name from the thorns on its branches. For detailed information about growing and caring for this shrub, you can refer to this section of our website.

Despite its resistance to frost and unpretentiousness to soils, rose hips do not like lowlands and the stagnation of moisture that is characteristic of them. Depending on the variety, one bush can produce up to 2 kg of fruits of red, burgundy or bright orange color. Their size and thickness of the shell will also depend on the characteristics of the variety.

In terms of the content of nutrients, rose hips become especially valuable during the cold period, when there is a serious lack of vitamins, macro and microelements. They are specially dried and then added to tea or compote. Rosehip oil is obtained from the fruit. Rosehip petals have no less medicinal value.
