Rose hips, also called rose haw and rose hep, are the round part of the rose flower that sits just below the petals, containing the plant’s seeds. It is the accessory fruit and is typically red to orange in colour, but also ranges from dark purple to black in some species.

Dried rose hips have many uses, including equine supplements and flavouring for herbal teas and foods.

What to do with rose hips?

Dried rose hips are high in natural antioxidants for horses, help maintain joint health and mobility, and sustain the natural formation of cartilage and connective tissue. Rose hips are believed to naturally cleanse the body, helping to healthily remove toxins. Due to the presence of biotin, rose hips promote and maintain the growth of healthy new hoofs.

In cuisine, dried rose hips are often blended with dried hibiscus flowers to make herbal tea, as well as European soft and alcoholic drinks. They’re also used to make rose hip soup, jams, jellies, wine, and more. In Slovenia, rose hip steals the show in cockta—a popular fruity soft drink. Palinka is a traditional Hungarian fruit brandy that calls on the rose hip for flavour, and in Sweden, it’s used for nyponsoppa—a rose hip soup.

Dried rose hips and their seeds are thought to be immunity-boosters that may also relieve stomach conditions, including ulcer prevention, spasms and stomach acid deficiency, as well as helping diarrhoea, constipation and kidney disorders. Some of the key components include beta-carotene, lutein and lycopene—all carotenoids that give it its vibrant colour. One of its key applications is in stretch mark creams. The rich oil is highly nourishing to minimise the appearance of the marks and keep skin soft and supple. The oil extracted from rose hips is naturally a great source of essential fatty acids and antioxidants. It is absorbed well into the skin, and it’s believed that the vitamin A content can help regenerate damaged skin tissues.

Dried rose hips are often used for decorative purposes for wreath making, dry flower arrangements, or soap and candle making.

FAQs

You can use whole rose hips to create tea and a multitude of other food products, including soup, jellies and jams.

Rose hip is naturally high in antioxidants, meaning it may be able to help support the immune system, reduce joint pain, improve skin health and protect against diseases. The process of drying and storing this botanical means much of its vitamin power is lost. However, healthcare remedies using rose hip can be fortified with additional vitamin C to counter this.

Our rose hips are sourced from locations in Europe, such as Albania.
