The hips of the rose are very high in Vitamin C and other vitamins and minerals. The rind of the hip can be eaten when other food is scarce and sometimes just as a treat, but the seed is never eaten. Arrows can be fashioned from rose wood and the cambium is processed to make an ointment for the eyes.
