Rose hip are very common in Sweden. Not something I usually pick. Rich in vitamin c and something we buy at the store is rosehip soup. Beautiful flowers now and you can do something fun with the seeds. When we were kids, we used to take out the seeds and put them in front of each other's sweaters, like a prank. Because it itches something unbelievable when the seeds come in contact with the skin.

We just through each other some time.... I like the jam from the other variety, the Dog Rose (Rosa Canina) ... those are smaller hips if I'm not mistaken.... Oh yeah, and it's painful if you can't stop with your bicycle and actually land in these bushes..... I didn't have to write this down on that Summer Vacation >D
