Rose Hips

I took this Rosa Rugosa Image by the seaside in New Hampshire.

Mmmmm.......delicious! I just finished enjoying Rosehip marmalade on toast. It is not as commonly used in the USA, but in Europe it's as popular as any fruit. It is a healthy source of vitamin C, also makes a pretty rose colored tea. The Rosehip marmalade was imported from Croatia.

Great banner Zoia!

Excellent choice of subject, and well executed banner.

Rosehips: an overlooked ornamental feature. Thank you for highlighting them, Zoia. Also, interesting to hear about rosehip marmalade, Fleur. May have to hunt some down for myself.

Rosehips are a very popular European ingredient , especially in tea. Jam sounds very nice!
