Rosa caninaThis Eurasian shrub grows up to 9 feet tall with multiple arching stems covered in stout, flattened thorns that curve downward and vary in size. Its leaves are alternate, pinnately divided into 5-7 leaflets with serrated edges. Both sides of the leaves are smooth and glandless. The shrub produces relatively large flowers (2-5 cm across) in small clusters at the tips of its branches. These flowers have five pale pink to bright pink petals, numerous stamens, and five reflexed sepals that are toothed or lobed. Each flower is borne on a hairless stalk and can be solitary or appear in small clusters. The flowers have five white to pink petals (0.8-1 inch long), five sepals, 10+ pistils, and multiple stamens. The sepals curve backward during anthesis and are deciduous. As the fruit matures, it turns from green to orange or scarlet red. The fleshy capsule, known as a hip, is oval or rounded and contains numerous seeds. The fruits themselves are hairless, smooth, bright red (0.6-0.8 inches long), and contain yellowish seeds that are irregularly shaped and 4-6 mm long.

Rosa caninaRose hips, often referred to as pseudo-fruits, have been used as an herbal remedy for over 2,000 years due to their nutritional value and tart flavor. They can be infused into a tea rich in vitamins A and C, with particularly high concentrations of Vitamin C. While citrus fruits are commonly associated with this vitamin, rose hips actually contain even higher levels, making them one of the richest botanical sources. The fruit-like structures persist on the plant for several months before turning black.

To prepare a decoction, combine one tablespoon of dried herbs with one cup of water in a saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for 30-60 minutes. After straining, press out as much liquid as possible from the solids and serve.
