In reply to Daisy. Rosa canina is definitely a very prolific species of rose. There are several species who's hips are good for use in medicine.

In reply to Kami McBride. Doesn't rosa canina produce the best hips? That's what everything else I've read states.

In reply to Simchah. When making a cup of tea, you use about 1/2-1 tsp of both the petals and the rose hips.

This cooler sounds great! How much rise hips and rise petals do you use in the cup of tea please?

Of course hibiscus 🌺 iced tea ready made I drink! We can sweeten with rose petal jam or syrup!

Hibiscus is my favorite iced tea, garnished with your favorite mint family sprig and sweetened with Stevia and served over ice.

That looks beautiful! I have your book so will try it. My rose bushes don’t produce very nice hips. Do you have any suggestions on species of rose that works better for petals and hips with therapeutic constituents?
