Wild Rose

Rosa spp. grows in a feral tangle of flowers and thorns, and produces an abundance of gorgeous red-orange hips every summer and fall. Rosehips are the fruiting bodies of roses, and are tart and delicious, full of vitamin C, and make a wonderful tea.

Roses provide nectar for bees and beetles, and the hips are eaten by nearly everything - bears, deer, skunks, squirrels and rabbits, to name a few. Birds such as redwing blackbirds, cedar waxwings and thrushes also eat the hips and disperse the seeds.
Wild Roses have a history of use in healing and skincare, and flowers are given to show love and gratitude. They create an atmosphere of abundance and luck, love, confidence and good fortune.
