Day 58: The hips of the wild rose are said to be rich in Vitamin C and may be used to make a flavorful and very aromatic jelly. Several species are found in the Pacific Northwest, often hybridizing with other varieties. The oval shape of these indicates a lineage principally from the Baldhip Rose (Rosa gymnocarpa). The plants often form a thick hedge eight to ten feet in height which affords protection from predators for small birds and mammals.
