Rose Hip Seeds (Rugosa Rose) produce hardy, vigorous shrubs valued for their attractive blooms and nutrient-rich hips. These rose hips are commonly used for herbal teas, homemade jams, jellies, and natural culinary recipes. The shrubs also make excellent landscape plants thanks to their dense growth, strong adaptability, and tolerance to harsh conditions.

Rugosa Rose grows well in coastal gardens, dry soils, and windy exposures while maintaining lush foliage and vibrant flowers through the growing season. The hips develop in late summer to fall, providing both ornamental interest and a useful harvest.

These Non-GMO Rose Hip Seeds germinate reliably with proper cold stratification and grow into tough, long-lasting shrubs suited for home gardens, hedges, and naturalized landscapes.
