- Though wild roses may not be as large and extravagant as the cultivated varieties we know and love today, there is something so enchanting about seeing a wild rose growing. Wild roses have been utilized by humans for food and medicine for thousands of years, and have been seen as symbols of love. In botanical terms, wild roses are referred to as "species roses." They are called species roses since they are wild roses that occur naturally. Most of the roses we see today have been selectively bred for large blooms with numerous petals. Species roses grow as they have from the beginning with no help from humans and are true wildflowers.
Wild roses are often sought out by foragers and herbalists for their edible, nutritious hips in autumn. The petals are also popular amongst herbalists and foragers alike and make great additions to skin care products, teas, syrups and infused honeys. In this video we talk a little about how to identify and harvest wild roses for the home apothecary. I also share some herbal creations that I made with the invasive multiflora roses we have growing here in Pennsylvania. If you are interested in the recipes let me know! I hope you enjoy this video!

today along side the road
I saw a wild rose,
low growing pink,
asked me to take her home
with an impish wink
Is this something you wrote?! I love it!
spur of the moment

My favorite gardening girl. So good to learn something ELSE I didn’t know. Missed ya kid, nice to see you. Hope you and your little family are all doing well. Will be planting my elderberry bushes tomorrow thanks to you. Be safe and happy young lady. USMC
Thanks, Gale! We are doing well. Hope all is well with you too!
That is so great to hear. I hope the planting goes wonderfully and you have flowers and berries within a year or two! Much love 🌿💚🌱
Lovely, thank you so much for sharing. 🏵🌹
Thanks! 💚🙏🌿
Another smart banger of information and super interesting facts about this invasive rose 'rootstock'. The toner you made looks so amazing
Thanks, G! Hope you’re enjoying these last few weeks of Spring!
Thank you for sharing 👍👍

Love the inspiration. I've been collecting rose petals and am excited the elderflowers will soon be blooming too and I can put together a lovely toner as well!! Thank you
I hope you enjoy the toner as much as I do! 🌿🌸💚
Wonderful 🌹♥️🌹♥️🌹♥️
I spotted some native roses yesterday when I was kayaking on Norton Reservoir, MA. It had 5 flower pedals and very pink (not ragosa) I uploaded the photo to iNaturalist but no ID yet.
Any luck with ID yet?!
@@SmallSeeds not yet……but the app suggested R. palustris, virginiana, carolina or nitida. I was kayaking on Long Pond, Plymouth today and spotted another rose in bloom……near water so assuming R. palustris.
Small seeds, don’t mean to be a pest just wondering if you and the little tribe are all well. Hope you’re all good. LATER
You’re never a pest, Gale! We are doing well. The little ladies are growing too fast! They’ve been keeping us busy on top of traveling a bit this summer. We kept the gardens much smaller this year to keep things more manageable. However, the medicinal herb collection continues to grow. 🌿😊🌱
How are you doing? Hope all is well with you! 🙏💚🌿
Glad to hear you’re all doing OK, little kids are the best. They grow up too fast. I’m doing alright for and old guy. Wishing the best for you all.
