Rose hips are actually the fruit of the rose plant that usually forms in late summer and autumn after the rose plant has been pollinated. Once the rosebud falls off, many people forget about roses, but the fruit of the plant is yet to come! The color is typically red, but it can also be orange, purple, or black. They are some of the most nutritionally packed fruits of any plant, which is why they have become such a desirable and sought-after product in markets around the world. Historically, they have been used for hundreds of years, if not thousands by the Americas, as well as various parts of Europe.
