Rose hip(lat. Rōsa) - a genus of plants of the Rosaceae family
Rosehip description
Rosehip translated from the Latin Rosa. Belongs to the genus Rosaceae, family Rosaceae. There are up to 400 species. In the people, the wild rose is called: wild rose, forest pinch, thorn. Rosehip took its name from the presence of sharp thorns, hence the thorn.
Rose hips growing on the territory of our country are mainly shrubs. But some specimens of these species, reaching the age of several hundred years, grow into entire trees. We grow several types of wild rose - wrinkled wild rose, spiny wild rose, cinnamon wild rose, dog wild rose and several other species.
Many of them are characterized by a high content in the "fruits" (or rather, in the overgrown receptacle) of vitamin C. However, until now, the main types used for harvesting for the manufacture of vitamin C concentrates are mainly the following 2 types:
a) Spiny rosehip (R, acicularis L i n d 1.) - a low, strongly thorny-spiky shrub. Flowers pink or reddish. The fruits are red and very diverse in shape. It grows mainly in spruce forests, along forest slopes and edges in the subzone of coniferous (northern) forests of the forest zone. In the pulp of dry “fruits”, the amount of vitamin C is indicated from 4.3 to 7.2%, and it is noted that in the “fruits” of wild rose, common in northern and eastern parts forest zone, the amount of vitamin, as a rule, increases.
b) Cinnamon wild rose, common wild rose (R. cinnamomea L.) is a low, rarely thorny shrub. Flowers are pale or dark red in color. The fruits are small, orange or red fleshy. It grows in forests, shrubs, meadows, and especially in large masses along river valleys throughout the forest and forest-steppe zone of Russia. The pulp of dry fruits contains vitamin C from 2.5 to 14.5%. At the same time, in this species, as in the thorny rosehip, the same geographical dependence is observed in relation to the content of the vitamin.
Rosehip properties and uses

Rose hips are widely used in medicine and the vitamin industry. Vitamin preparations are prepared from them in the form of pills, tablets, extracts, infusions and powders. Rose hips are widely used in folk medicine.

Collection and drying of rose hips
Only ripe and unspoiled rose hips should be collected. The collection usually starts from the end of August - the beginning of September. And continue until frost. Frost-touched "fruits" contain a fairly large amount of sugar. At the same time, they lose almost 50% of vitamin C. The “fruits” are torn off by hand or cut with scissors without stalks. Put in a portable container, trying not to wrinkle or damage them. In damaged places, rotting begins to develop rapidly, “fruits”, become moldy and become unusable.
Drying of the collected "fruits" should begin immediately after harvest. With mass collection, having a cool, protected, well-ventilated area, you can store freshly picked "fruits" for up to 2 days. Drying should be in a well-heated free-style Russian oven or in any fruit and vegetable dryer at a temperature of 80-100 °.
It is necessary to make sure that air freely penetrates to all layers of the decomposed “fruits”, mix the fruits more often and make sure that they do not burn. Such quick drying makes it possible to keep in dry "fruits" most vitamins. With prolonged drying, almost all vitamins are destroyed. Well and quickly dried "fruits" of wild rose retain their orange-red or bright dark red color. The walls of the "fetus" break when straightened. In dried "fruits" immediately after drying, it is necessary to separate, on the top of the "fruits" the remains of the flower calyx.
