Spring Wild Rose

During early spring in the NWT, the roads and pathways are often brightened up with patches of wild roses. After a long barren winter these are a welcome sight. In early spring I will harvest the rose petals for tea and to make a jelly. Then by late autumn the flowers transform into bright red rose hips that are harvested following the first frost for rose hip jam. Oh, and by the way, early spring here is early to mid June. This photo was taken under the midnight sun just before 12 midnight.
