Romance your health with Rosa rugosa. The seed pod of the rose — also known as Rose Hips, Chinese Rose, Maikaika, Eglantine Gall, Rosa Gallica, Bud of Chi, Japanese Rose Flower, Rosae rugosae Flos, and Tomato Rose — is a valuable source of natural Vitamin C. It contains unique polysaccaride-peptides that can help the body maintain a healthy balance.

Rosa rugosa is native to northern China, Korea, and Japan. It is a bristly, prickly, sprawling, suckering shrub rose that typically grows in a rounded form to 4-6′ tall and just as wide. Unless restrained, it will over time spread to form dense thickets. It has fragrant flowers that are rose pink to white and up to 3 1/4″ across. Its petals, flower buds and hips are commonly consumed for production of jams, teas, pies, juices and beverages.
