@haresfur Wow you were persistent! Glad no lasting trauma. I've never worked with wild rose hips. I had a large garden once with 40 roses - cultivated/hybrid. I think I didn't let them hip so as to preserve energy. I know I tried to use some hips that escaped my pruning once but do not call drama - also do not recall any huge success. I was going to do a rose petal jelly once but it is so subtle a flavor I just left the petals for the tortoises and for potpourri. Oh I worked for a lauded rosarian once tnding her beds. Long sleeves, thick pants, gloves, do not scratch if you feel itch.
