Question: are wild rose hips edible?
Answer: Yes, all rosehips are edible. The 'Hip' is actually the fruit of the rose. The tastiest ones foragers usually gather are Dog Rose (Rosa canina). ... Although they have big 'Hips', the flavour is quite watery, so is not that suited to making things like rosehip syrup, but is excellent in jams, jellies, vinegar etc.
