When Britain was unable to import fresh citrus fruits the government organised the gathering of dog rose fruits, or hips, which were known to be a rich source of vitamin C. Processed into syrup the rose hips helped to prevent scurvy and still, today, the plant is valued as a rich source of vitamin C. Rose hips have been used traditionally to treat a range of conditions including diarrhoea, bladder infections and diabetes. In Europe and America, rose hips are processed widely into jam and juice, used as a vitamin C supplement, in cosmetics and as a folklore drug in the form of tisane.
Rose hips contains fruit acids (ascorbic acid, malic acid and citric acid), are also high in folate and contain vitamins A, B3, D and E along with flavonoids (such tiliroside and glycosides of quercetin and kaempferol), hydroxycinnamic acids and ellagitannins (with gallotannins being the main components), carotenoids (lycopene), betasitosterol, fructose, phenolic acids, proanthocyanidins, fatty acids, pectines, magnesium, zinc, copper and numerous other phytochemicals including recently characterised galactolipids.
