Organic Rose Hips – Seedless Loose Herb | Rosa canina | High Vitamin C Tea & Herbal Crafting Ingredient

Bright, tart, and nourishing—these seedless rose hips are a staple in teas, syrups, and seasonal wellness blends. A timeless herb for immune support and rustic herbal beauty.

Herbal Overview

Harvested from the Dog Rose (Rosa canina), rose hips are the fruiting bodies that form after the petals fall away—small, ruby red, and rich in Vitamin C. Ours are seedless and gently dried, making them ideal for tea, syrup, or infusion without the gritty texture that whole hips can sometimes bring.

These rose hips are grown or wildcrafted in the U.S. and arrive in pieces, ready for steeping or blending. Their naturally tart, slightly floral taste adds brightness and body to any herbal blend—and their immune-supporting benefits make them a favorite during seasonal shifts.

Naturally caffeine-free and full of character, these rose hips are an apothecary essential.

Stillroom Notes

Rose hips are a quiet herbal powerhouse, something I always reach for as the seasons begin to shift. Their tartness blends beautifully with sweeter herbs like licorice or warming spices like cinnamon. On the farm, we often steep them with elderberries and orange peel for a comforting winter tonic.
