Description
Fruit of the rose is a berry-like structure called a rose hip. Some of the domestic cultivars do not produce hips, as the flowers are so tightly petaled that they do not provide access for pollination. The hips of most species are red, but a few have dark purple to black hips. Each hip comprises an outer fleshy layer, the hypanthium, which contains 50-160 "seeds.Rose hips are very rich in vitamin C, among the richest sources of any plant
