Description
~With the good comes the bad.~
This is the winter look of my wild rose bush. These roses are very fragrant in the summer, but if you want to pick one you risk getting stabbed by the prickles!
In the winter the red berries, called Rose Hips, are the brightest thing on the bush. These berries can be picked and boiled for 10-15 minutes to make a tea that has more vitamin C than oranges! (I haven't tried it yet...)
Thanks for the visit!
Your kind and encouraging words on my March in Minnesota pic are greatly appreciated.

What a shot! The sharp focus and colors are breath-taking.
If you use porsons on your rose's do not make the tea. It will have the porson in the berries. But this is a super looking photo
WOW!!!! I've never seen roses like this and I grew up in Minnesota(till I was 11 anyways!!). What I miss the complete most is Rhubarb! Oh, anyways, this is a beautiful capture of this flowers berries!

You really portayed the past glory of the roses excellently! Colours are very good.
Beautiful colors and compo. You better be careful if you're gonna pick enough for a nice cup of tea - those thorns look pretty vicious! Very nice capture!
What a sharp shot...oooh...arent i the pathetic one...sigh. The overall red tone is really beautiful. And those thorns sure look nasty. Tea huh? More of a coffee-man myself...bla bla. Have a wonderful post-humpday Jodie. #:O)

And there you have the meaning of life in one picture - Life is full of pricks, but somewhere you'll always find beauty! (And a cup of tea is always a wonderful thing too)
excelelnt dof.. and such a beautiful shot.. stunning..:) beautiful play of light...
Incredible treasures in nature, containing so much of thes vitamins needed so badly by us! Gorgeous work! :)
Those rose hips are a bit past their prime, aren't they? I've eaten fresh rose hips (in the Boundary Waters Wilderness area) but I've not tried the tea, yet. I think the rose hips have to be fresh for that. You're right about the Vitamin C content! Great photo... ready for Spring to begin... any month, now..... . . . .
excellent detail in this.. for what ails you.. my poor roses have suffered terribly with the drought & heat.. sigh..
I've always wondered what rose hips look like...now I know. Wonderful image Jodie!
a fascinating capture. great work on DOF. sorry i am late as usual,Jodie * HUGZ * #:O)
I never seen this species as far as I recollect, but I bet the flowers are beautiful. I will take your word on the tea
Lovely red without snow, beautiful shot, vitamine C for the eyes :-)
Another beauty!!!!!!!!!!! ANA WOW!!!!!!
Splendid photo, superb harmony of tones !
