Dog Rose was a once a valuable medicinal plant and from the hips Rosehip syrup (which is rich in vitamin C) was produced. The leaves were also used to to protect the lungs and to gently purge the body through its mild laxative effect. The petals were used in flavouring foods. Is very common in hedgerows throughout England and Wales. It is the ancestor of the modern garden rose. It flowers June - July with the hips forming August - September. Picture taken Old Warden 27th July 2008.
