Large hips on Autumn Sunset climbing shrub rose.

I love the small yellowish hips of Rockin' Robin shrub rose.

Hips on Work of Art miniature rose look like tiny apples. Lots of new growth even though it's only mid-January!

Bonica produces masses of hips.

Small red and green hips on Happy Chappy shrub rose.

Always stingy with the hips, Blanc Double de Coubert produced a single fat hip this fall.

Hips of Westerland loom over hips of Bonica.

Love these photos! I call rosehips "rose apples", too. ;) To me, a rose reaches levels of perfection if it produces a lot of hips. Your blog looks great, btw! :)

Great post. Beautiful post. Rose hips bring such interest to the winter garden and a good source of vit C!

Hmm, such an education for me. I've never thought about rose hips before! Great pictures, Louise.
