"Hippy" Roses
Roses are cousins to apples, and many bear edible fruit (hips) in the fall. Rose hips not only provide fall/winter interest in the garden, they often provide food for birds and can be delicious in jams, jellies and teas... even wine! It is very important to only use hips that have not been sprayed with fungicides or pesticides that are not approved for use on food crops... or better yet, never sprayed at all.
This is not an endorsement of the flavor, quality, fertility or suitability of any particular rose's fruit.
If you want your roses to set hips, do not deadhead the final crop of blooms at the end of the season, usually August or September. With once blooming roses, this means you have an excuse not to deadhead at all!
I will be adding a collection of rose hip recipes in the near future.
