The term “apple rose season” can be defined in different ways. On the one hand, it can be used to describe the time when this plant blooms beautifully, but on the other hand, it can also be used to describe the time when you can harvest the tasty and versatile rose hips.
When is the apple rose season and what uses are there for the rose hips?
The apple rose season extends from June to autumn, when the plant shows its pink flowers and then develops rose hip fruits. These can be used to make tea or jam.
From June until autumn, the apple rose shows its pink, cup-shaped flowers. Later it develops relatively large, flat, spherical fruits, the well-known rose hips, similar to the rose hips of the dog rose. These are smaller but can be processed in the same way. Use it to make tasty tea or delicious jam.
