Rosa caninaThis Eurasian shrub grows up to 9 feet tall with multiple arching stems covered in stout, flattened thorns that curve downwards. Its leaves are alternate and divided into 5-7 leaflets with serrated edges, smooth on both sides. The flowers, which appear in small clusters at the tips of branches, have five pale pink to bright pink petals (sometimes white) and numerous stamens. They're borne on hairless stalks. The flowers are typically solitary or clustered at branch ends, featuring five white to pink petals, five sepals, 10+ pistils, and multiple stamens. The sepals curve backwards during anthesis and are deciduous. As the fruit matures, it turns from green to orange or scarlet red. The hip is a fleshy capsule containing numerous seeds. Fruits are hairless, smooth, bright red, and 0.6-0.8 inches long. Seeds are yellowish, irregularly shaped, and 4-6 mm long.

Rosa caninaRose hips, also known as pseudo fruits, have been used in herbal medicine for over 2,000 years. They are rich in nutrients and have a tart flavor. When infused into tea, they provide a high concentration of vitamins A and C. Notably, rose hips contain more Vitamin C than citrus fruits, making them one of the richest botanical sources of this essential nutrient. The fruit-like structures persist on the plant for several months before turning black.
