One of my friends, when given roses, never even put them in water, just hung the bouquet upside down to dry it. wildcucumberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16984536305827910383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6772581387969976371.post-24013234112549819422016-06-17T08:28:10.423-04:002016-06-17T08:28:10.423-04:00Thanks Tim!

If so, I wonder if they used the rosehips in it? <br /><br />Moose rosehip pemmican .. sounds .. okay, a little odd. But it would be a nutrition powerhouse.wildcucumberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16984536305827910383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6772581387969976371.post-78400698780534429582016-06-17T05:24:46.762-04:002016-06-17T05:24:46.762-04:00Oh how I do love roses.

Fresh ones that is and then I would dry them and to this day they still have their beautiful scent. Alas, I no longer have any rose bushes but I have plenty of friends that do!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6772581387969976371.post-37053255113411075392016-06-17T01:44:49.595-04:002016-06-17T01:44:49.595-04:00Nice!

My property is surrounded by roses, they only flower for a couple weeks in June, then develop small seedy rose hips, filled with a toothpaste-like orange goo that peaks in September/October after a couple hard frosts.<br /><br />Last fall I collected a bucket full of hips and cooked and strained them, then dried the "goo" on parchement paper in my dehydrator. The result was a nice fruit leather that tasted good when dissolved into tea or just gnawed on. These rose hips supposedly have more vitamin C than anything here, especially a nice treat just before Winter sets in.<br /><br />Here's a nice paper our local uni put out on ideas what to do with roses, from rose water to jelly. I think I may try a few more of these uses.<br /><br />https://www.uaf.edu/files/ces/publications-db/catalog/hec/FNH-00114.pdf<br /><br />Tim Steelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01611027687223434753noreply@blogger.com
