Rose hips are a versatile and colorful plant that can be used in various ways to add depth to your creation. They are rich in vitamin C, antioxidants, and other nutrients, making them an excellent source of vitamin C. To create a natural DIY rosehip wreath ornament, gather fresh rose hips from various types of roses, such as heirloom, modern, and beach-themed, for different sizes and colors.
To maintain their plumpness, use a light mist of hairspray to preserve the vividness of autumn. Place the rose hips in the wreath as desired and use a glue gun to secure the leaves and rose hips. Use a cutting board, paring knife, or a small spoon to slice the top and bottom of the hips off, as they are attached to the stem. When ground into a fine powder, rose hips can be used as a dietary supplement, anti-inflammatory effect, and flavor enhancer.
A wild rosehip wreath is an easy and beautiful addition to your autumn decor. Gather fresh rose hips from a variety of roses, including heirloom, modern, and beach-themed, and slip the stems into a pre-made willow wreath from a craft store. Give them a spritz with hair spray if desired to keep them plump longer.
When combining winter berries with raffia, harvest rose hips when they become a nice bright red or orange color, depending on the species. Use liquid floor wax or shellac to keep the hips plump and colorful, and spread them out on a tray or fine herb-drying screen for several weeks to dry.
In conclusion, rose hips are a rich source of vitamin C, antioxidants, and other nutrients, making them an excellent source of vitamin C and antioxidants.

You are so vibrant and inspiring soul. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with the world 🌎. Some people feel the rain, others just get wet. Just wow! I definitely feel the rain, I almost talk to it. Feel sad when somebody feel that a rainy day is depressing, I hear this alot, specially in England. Love from Brazil 🇧🇷 ❤
Hey you two, how serene to hear that melancholic picking of the guitar. I dislike anyone saying things like ‘how lucky you are’ to be living in the part of the land you are re the intro but HOW BLOODY LUCKY YO…😂 The Rosehip has been an absolute staple of mines and my daughter’s for a couple of years now. We are in the north west of Scotland and seems to be around December/January before they are soft enough to squeeze that goodness right out of the berry. Wonder when the ripe moment is for you down there? The sunrise was everything that cannot be described. Thank you and a very blessed Samhain/Halloween to you and yours 🧡
Just found your website and have binge watched alot of your articles! What a great website, i have a 5 acre woodland i planted with native trees 10 years ago, nearly all the plants you have shown on your website grow on my land in the woodland or around it. I have just purchased your book off the back of perusal your articles and i look forward to reading it and making the things you have in your articles, thank you for articles and knowledge!
Just found yr website absolving love with you guys. Thank you so much for making an informative but easy perusal article. I’m going to check them all out. You two are adorable and I’m loving how you keep things simple and easy to follow. Some articles make things to complicated and yours was a dream to follow so thank you xxx
I just dry my wild rosehips (whole) store them in a mason jar and when I am ready to put them in tea, I crush them and put them in a fine mesh tea ball or teapot strainer along with any other herbs that I want to make tea from, pour hot water over it and let it steep for about 20 minutes. Never have had any problems with the “little hairs.” It’s too labor intensive to de-seed them! God Bless.
Thank you for sharing your article. I only have one concern, and that is over boiling it destroys the benefits of the herb/rose hip isn’t it? To get the full benefits of the rose hip is to steep for 3-5 min in hot water to make a tea so I do not destroy it’s benefits because the leaf, flower or part of the plant (rose hip) are more delicate, so we do not boil we infuse to make a tea. Just my way of doing it since I was a little girl. I also believe Rose hips are really high on vitamin c it helps with infections, bladder difficulties, flu, mouth sore, PMS and the common cold. Adding lemon 🍋 is also very very beneficial since vitamin c fights cancer so does the lemon. We are blessed by Nature as they are Nature’s Potent healers. Thank you for sharing this…. 🏹❣️ Sending you much love and light.
I wasn’t aware of removing the stem and squeezing out the innards. Thought I had to cut them in half. ha ha. Our 10-year-old grandson is now interested in foraging so thought this would be a good project for him and I to make this fall! I went to your lovely farm a few years back. It’s beautiful there. Thank you for the tutorial!
It was great to watch you make the syrup. I saw tonight in another vid how it can be poured over ice cream or even go into whiskey. Also, in England, 2tsp daily is good for the Anti-oxidants. Still, no one discussed if the nutrient value is hurt with the cooking. I also saw, how once soft on the bush, using both hands (thumb and finger) the seeds can stay stuck in the hip while the paste is squeezed out to be eaten. Since I had a sink full of freshly picked hips I tried it and was pleasantly surprised at the good taste. AmaZing that the vit. C content is like 400x more than an orange…I’d probably have to leave them on the bush and visit daily to enjoy them this way though. I also wondered if there’s an antidote for an itchy throat, in case someone got into trouble….I’ll be googling;0)
Just brilliant and the information couldn’t be coming at a better time seeing how we are possibly on the verge of World War 3. I can’t help but notice the price of food is skyrocketing and also in short supply. On any given day our local Walmart store will be completely if not nearly out of meat, milk or even bread. People need to wean off your dependency on Big Brother to take care of you. Do all you can to learn about wild Foods as well as hunting
I came here looking for a clever way to rid the insides of the hairs so I was excited by how easy yours came out just by squeezing the fruit. I tried it but the whole hip just mushes together in one big gooey seedy hairy mess. I believe I’m using Nootka rose hips but they do seem to be a bit more elongated than yours. Am I waiting until they are too soft? Or perhaps I’m doing something else wrong. Any advice is greatly appreciated as I adore rosehips and would love to be processing my own. Thank you!
Hello. I’m considering growing a damask rose at home, mostly for the petals for a tiny-batch hydrosol for personal use. I realize it’ll take a few years before I can maybe get a decent amount of petals for even a tiny, tiny batch after first planting one out. Since you have damask roses for hydrosol production and rosehips, I would like to know if removing petals for hydrosols has any (negative) impacts on rosehip development and numbers…? I still enjoy foraging for rosehips, but if I can get extra at home, then, hey, why not? When is the best time to collect petals while still preserving rosehip development? Also, big thanks for the handy tip on removing the seeds+hairs in a single go… I love simple solutions.
Hi there, thanks for this fantastic article! I have 2 questions: I live in an area where it rarely, if ever, frosts. But roses do very well here and I have many rose bushes. Can I still harvest my rose hips? Do you think it might work to pop them in the freezer overnight after harvesting? 2nd question: Besides for drying the rosehip shells to use for tea, do you have ideas for how to use rosehips without any added sugar? Thanks so much! Your farm looks absolutely beautiful.
My rose hips must be different than yours. I’m using Rugosa Rose rosehips and they are considered edible. There is no real color to the water I’m simmering them in after 30 minutes. And after 35 minutes and straining out the seeds the color of my rosehip water is not pink. More like gray with a red undertone somewhere.
Hi, great article! I’m a new subscriber and wanted to ask about the seeds. Is the only way to truly be 100% sure that you have removed the hairs is to remove the seeds before simmering the hips? Cheese cloth in and of itself is not ultra fine mesh and the metal mesh is great but not 100% effective, right?
