BTW they make the best syrup! Rosehip syrup, diluted into hot water hits the spot when you're feeling under the weather, a spoonful has oodles of vitamin C and I use it as a pouring sauce for pancakes and icecream!

Yes, you need to cut them in half and scape out the seeds, and that takes a bit of time, but it's not that hard.

Are all rose hips edible?
The ones you can eat are.

Okay, I was being a smart arse. Yes, both rose hips and rose petals are edible. I'm not aware of any rose that you can't consume. Pick the hips after the first frost. The frost will sweeten the hips and cutting the hip before frost will encourage new growth that will be killed when it does frost.

Winnie, that's most likely correct. Looks like a Rosa Rugosa.
The flowers have only 5 petals, and are about 2" across, right?
Once you get those things growing in a place, it's hard to kill them. But they grow good meaty rose hips. They grow all over Cape Cod, especially where I plan to go fishing. And they should be ripe. Hopefully not gone by.
I trudged out to check out my roses and low and behold they are starting to turn color. This is actually the first year they have done that (if they actually turn). The last couple of years, since they were planted, the hips have stayed green and they tasted like crap. This might prove interesting. Thanks for starting the thread!!

Thank You for the rose identification. This year was a really good year for hose hips. I'm going to look into getting a few more of this type. It produces the biggest and best tasting rose hips out of any of the roses around here.

Thanks Rick, we have some big hybrid rose hips, but the wild florabunda rose hips are small but taste sweet when red
