Do roses have fruits
As we all know, roses are common in our lives, either in rose bouquets or rose tea. Now there is something called “rose hips” that has begun to appear in our lives.

Roses are native to China. They belong to the order Rosaceae, a deciduous shrub of the family Rosaceae. The flowers are purple-red and white, and are oblate. When roses are used as economic crops, their flowers are mainly used for food and essential oil extraction. Rose oil is used in industries such as cosmetics, food, and fine chemicals. When roses wither, their receptacles develop into fleshy berries, which are what we call “rose hips”.
So rose hips can be said to be the “product” of roses. Rose hips, as members of the Rosaceae family, have always been used as food or medicine. In foreign countries, research on rose hips has been carried out. It is rich in nutrients and can be said to be one of the fruits with the highest VC content among fruits and vegetables. At the same time, it also contains other vitamins, minerals, amino acids and essential fatty acids. These compounds play a very important role in maintaining the quality and nutritional value of fruits, and have become valuable raw materials for health care medicine and nutritional drinks.
When rose hips enter the “skin care kingdom”, what effects will it have? How should we use it? Rose pectin extracted from rose hips has the effect of strengthening tissues and has an excellent effect on cell regeneration, repair and healing. It can also improve the skin’s regeneration and renewal ability by promoting the activity of epidermal cells, enhance the skin’s elasticity, and thus achieve the effect of tightening the skin. Rose hips are also a good whitening product. The large amount of vitamin C rich in it is one of the earliest and representative additives used in whitening products. Make rose hips into essential oils and add them to our daily bath gels, and then combine them with moisturizing and soothing Damascus rose water and hydrating and moisturizing Curaçao aloe vera essence.

When to harvest rose fruit?
