When do you pick rose hips and how do you dry them??

Thanks Everyone!!!!

I was wondering this same thing! I just noticed them yesterday but I dont know if I should wait until they shrivel or something.

Yeah, this question is really for my mother...She's not sure what to do....

Thanks,

Ninni

I think you just let them shrivel on the bush. and then just cut them off :-)

When do you plant or start them?

Thanks,

Ninni
