I’ve seen the beautiful photos and know many of you have roses in your gardens or areas nearby! If they aren’t sprayed with any chemicals, then they’re healthy and safe to use in salads, butters, beverages, honey, and vinegars. Check out the following article from Yes! A Better World Today for the details!

Terrific idea. We have ten rose plants so we would have plenty to eat.

Hi. The article reminded me that years ago I used to drink rose hip tea now and then. Maybe I’ll resume that practice. Neil S.

Yes, that’s probably a good idea, Neil! I think there’s some hiding in my cupboard, as well…

I had no idea of the health benefits of rose petals–although I did drink a lot of rose hip tea years ago, and I loved my grandmother’s rose hip jelly.

Neither have I, Linda. I’ve only tried nasturtiums, which are very good, including the leaves.

Good idea! I don’t spray my rose or do anything to her but admire her. 🙂

As much as I love and appreciate flowers, eating them has not been one of them! (Although I have had rose hip tea once.) But I do appreciate that resourceful people find ways incorporate the natural world into our lives.

Thank you so much for this. I was remotely aware but this clarified so much and left me asking more about what is a rose hip. 😉 I have a very organic gardening process. I don’t want to poison the bugs which in turn poisons the birds and bees.

Yes, using organic methods is so important! Thanks for taking a look, Marlene!

Good ideas here. Rose “Fragrant Cloud” would be especially delightful, I bet. I would have trouble plucking those petals, though. Will have to try it next bloom time. (It’s just finished up this year.)
