Wild Roses
- Wild Roses
- (Rosa acicularis)
a.k.a. prickly rose
Wild Rose's scientific name 'acicularis' means 'prickly'.
This shrub, which can grow up to 15 metres tall, is famous for its prickly stems with their beautiful pale pink flowers and nutritious 'rosehips'
- Wild Rose flowers are large, pink and fragrant- one flower grows at the end of each of the side branches
- turn into bright red seed pods or hips
- the rosehips, which have an applelike flavour, are very high in vitamin C (a better source than orange juice)
- popular food for people and wildlife; fruit, stem and foliage are all eaten by wildlife, people use the young shoots, fruit, stems, flowers and leaves
- the rosehips can be made into jams, syrups and jellies (extremely popular in Europe); The hips are best picked immediately after the first frost. Open a few to be sure the plant is not infested with worms or bugs. (usually not the case, but can happen)
- tea can be made from the Wild Rose petals, leaves and even the roots; and appealing 'julep' can be made from soaking fresh petals with an equal amount of cool water, then adding lemon juice and honey

Wild Thimbleberry Flower of the Pacfic Northwest
Thimbleberry fruits are larger, flatter, and softer than raspberries, and have many small seeds. Because the fruit is so soft, it does not pack or ship well, so thimbleberries are rarely cultivated commercially. However, wild thimbleberries make an excellent jam which is sold as a local delicacy in some parts of their range.
