It’s a great year for rosehips. Some of the garden varieties always seem to hip well – I particularly love the foil Rosa glauca’s blue leaves make for the scarlet berries, (and I’m making a note to order Rosa moyesii ‘Geranium’ as I don’t have one and its flagon-shaped hips are the most ornamental of all).
The wild dog roses are heaving with berries, none of us can remember so many before, and whilst the recent cold nights must be intensifying their flavour and therapeutic qualities, they are still not absolutely ripe, so we’ll wait a week or two before setting out with our baskets to harvest them en famille.
