Wouldn’t it be cool to have a large sunny garden with an ample supply of Rugosa roses? In addition to the benefits of the bloom display, you could easily produce “Rose Hip Tea” from the fruits: a nutrient-rich beverage containing vitamins A, B, C, E and K. (I haven’t tried it yet… my Rugosa doesn’t get enough sun to produce many fruits.) I even saw somewhere that the rose hips can be added to red wine to create a potent, beneficial potion. (Consume in moderation, of course!)
SAFETY ALERT: Do your own research regarding allergies, toxicity, etc. It’s not good to overload on certain vitamins, so if you already take supplements be aware of the potential overload factor.
