Overview & Traditional Uses

Rose Hips are the nutrient-dense, ruby-red pseudo-fruits left behind on wild rose bushes after the delicate petals have fallen in late autumn. Famous in European and Native American folk traditions, Rose Hips became legendary during World War II when citizens harvested wild hips to make vitamin-rich syrups. Naturally packed with vitamin C, bioflavonoids, polyphenols, and fruit acids, Rose Hips are a premier nourishing ally for seasonal vitality, joint mobility, and radiant skin.
