"Fruits" of roses, "rose hips", see also rose hip bush. Botanically speaking, however, it is a pseudofruit (pseudofructus), but a "pseudofruit": in addition to the fruit, the fruit contains the hairy axial cup of the flower (hypantheum). The dried rose hips (i.e. the fruit including the cup(Rosae pseudo-fructus cum fructibus) and the peel of the rose hips (Rosae pseudo-fructus), i.e. without the nuts, are used phytotherapeutically, see Rosae semen. The peel of the rose hips consists of the remains of the dried sepals and the cups.

Tea is made from the dried rosehip peel and the rosehips are processed into jam or marmalade. 100 g of fresh rose hips contain 400-5,000 mg ascorbic acid.

The phytotherapeutically used rose hips come from dog roses and alpine dog roses, see also under roses

The quality of rose hip peel (Rosae pseudo-fructus) is specified in the European Pharmacopoeia (Ph. Eur.), that of rose hips in the German Pharmacopoeia Codex (DAC).
