The autumn produced hips are oval and quite soft, they are rich in ascorbic acid (vitamin C). The rose hips of Rosa canina and Rosa dumalis have been collected and traditionally used in Turkey for several decades. They are mainly collected during winter months and then they can be processed into several products such as marmalade, syrup, jam, etc. Also healthy teas and jellies.
