How to Collect and Save Rose Seeds from Rose Hips
Collect/Harvest Rose seeds from Rose Hips. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Rose hip The rose hip, also known as rose haw or rose hep, is the fruit of the rose plant, that typically is red-to-orange, but ranges from dark purple to black in some species. Rose hips begin to form after successful pollination of flowers in spring or early summer, and ripen in late summer through autumn. Usage Rose hips are used for tisanes, jam, jelly, syrup, soup, beverages, pies, bread, wine, and marmalade. They can also be eaten raw, like a berry, if care is used to avoid the hairs inside the fruit. A few rose species are sometimes grown for the ornamental value of their hips, such as Rosa moyesii, which has prominent large red bottle-shaped fruits. Rose hips have recently[when?] become popular as a healthy treat for pet chinchillas and guinea pigs. These small rodents are unable to manufacture their own vitamin C and are unable to digest many vitamin-C rich foods. Rose hips provide a sugarless, safe way to increase their vitamin C intake. Rose hips are also fed to horses. The dried and powdered form can be fed at a maximum of 1 tablespoon per day to improve coat condition and new hoof growth. The fine hairs found inside rose hips are used as itching powder.[1] Dried rose hips are also sold for primitive crafts and home fragrance purposes. Rose hips were used in many food preparations by the indigenous peoples of the Americas.[citation needed] Rose hips can be used to make Palinka, a traditional Hungarian alcoholic beverage. They are also the central ingredient of Cockta, the fruity-tasting national soft drink of Slovenia.[2] In his book Stalking the Faraway Places, wild foods enthusiast Euell Gibbons recommended stuffed rose hips made by slicing a large hip in half, removing the seeds and inserting a wild raspberry. Rose hips are commonly used as a tisane, often blended with hibiscus, and also as an oil. They can also be used to make jam, jelly, marmalade, and rose hip wine. Rose hip soup, "nyponsoppa", is especially popular in Sweden. Rhodomel, a type of mead, is made with rose hips. Medical uses Rose hips are particularly high in vitamin C content, one of the richest plant sources available. However, RP-HPLC assays of fresh rose hips and several commercially available products revealed a wide range of L-ascorbic acid content, ranging from 0.03 to 1.3%.[3] Rose hips of some species, especially Rosa canina (Dog Rose) and R. majalis, have been used as a source of vitamin C. During World War II, the people of Britain were encouraged through letters to The Times newspaper, articles in the British Medical Journal, and pamphlets produced by Claire Loewenfeld, a dietitian working for Great Ormond Street Hospital for Sick Children, to gather wild-grown rose hips and to make a vitamin C syrup for children. This was because German submarines were sinking many commercial ships: citrus fruits from the tropics were very difficult to import. Rose hips contain plenty of lycopene, an important and strong antioxidant that prevents oxidation of low density lipoprotein (LDL) as well as of many cellular membranes.[4] Lycopene in rose hips differs more in its isomer distribution than in other sources (tomatoes, pink grapefruit).[citation needed] Rose hips also contain some vitamin A and B, essential fatty acids, and antioxidant flavonoids.[citation needed] A study of a rose hip preparation for treating rheumatoid arthritis concluded that there was a benefit, apparently due to both anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant effects.[5] Rose hips are used to help prevent colds and influenza. Propagation Roses are propagated from hips by removing the achenes that contain the seeds from the hypanthium (the outer coating) and sowing just beneath the surface of the soil. The seeds can take many months to germinate. Most species require chilling (stratification), with some such as Rosa canina only germinating after two winter chill periods have occurred.

I know that these comments are old but I was hoping someone could help me with info on growing roses. I have taken many pods and I need to know if you should take the seeds out immediately and sow them while they are still moist or do I remove them when the pods are completely dry. Also once they have been removed, must I keep them until sowing in soil or can I/must I sow them straight away. I am so desperately trying to get the garden in our building "growing" as it is in a sad state and we unfortunately do not have funds for this exercise but I am able to nab seeds all over the neighborhood and there are hundreds of rose bushes all over and so I know that they grow well in this area. All help appreciated.

so this does not show things very well. You need to wait until the rosehip is ripe, it goes red or bright orange. Then you cut around the circumference of the rosehip without cutting right through and it is easy to pull it in half. The seeds are fill with hairs which are irritating and if you want to eat or use the rosehip for tea etc, it is the fleshy part that you use. I cut them in half and put them in the dehydrator. When they are dry you put them in a container and shake until all the hair and seeds are loose then into a colander to separate seeds and hair from fleshy bit. if you want to use the seeds, put them back into the container and shake and all the hair clump together making it easy to separate. You need to be careful not to ingest the hairs as they can can major irritation to you digestive system.

If I have 6 seeds should I plant all in the same pot or individually?
-
Before keeping it safe, are you not going to dry the seeds?
-
After looking on the internet it says to harvest rose hips after the first frost, but my hips are still green not golden like yours. Does this mean they are no good for seed or its not time yet?
-
you're throwing the meat away which makes a lovely tea :(
-
Can someone tell me how to dry the seeds, i want to make itching powder
-
Do you just keep the bag at room temperature? And how long will they remain viable until planted?
-
