The rose hip, also known as rose haw or rose hep, is the fruit of the rose plant, that typically is red-to-orange, but ranges from dark purple to black in some species. Rose hips begin to form after successful pollination of flowers in spring or early summer, and ripen in late summer through autumn.
- Rose hips are used for tisanes, jam, jelly, syrup, soup, beverages, pies, bread, wine, and marmalade. They can also be eaten raw, like a berry, if care is used to avoid the hairs inside the fruit.
- A few rose species are sometimes grown for the ornamental value of their hips, such as Rosa moyesii, which has prominent large red bottle-shaped fruits.
- Rose hips have recently become popular as a healthy treat for pet chinchillas and guinea pigs. These small rodents are unable to manufacture their own vitamin C and are unable to digest many vitamin-C rich foods. Rose hips provide a sugarless, safe way to increase their vitamin C intake.
- Rose hips are also fed to horses. The dried and powdered form can be fed at a maximum of 1 tablespoon per day to improve coat condition and new hoof growth.
- The fine hairs found inside rose hips are used as itching powder. Dried rose hips are also sold for primitive crafts and home fragrance purposes.
- Rose hips were used in many food preparations by the indigenous peoples of the Americas.
- Rose hips can be used to make Palinka, a traditional Hungarian alcoholic beverage. They are also the central ingredient of Cockta, the fruity-tasting national soft drink of Slovenia.
- In his book Stalking the Faraway Places, wild foods enthusiast Euell Gibbons recommended stuffed rose hips made by slicing a large hip in half, removing the seeds and inserting a wild raspberry.
- Rose hips are commonly used as a tisane, often blended with hibiscus, and also as an oil. They can also be used to make jam, jelly, marmalade, and rose hip wine. Rose hip soup, "nyponsoppa", is especially popular in Sweden. Rhodomel, a type of mead, is made with rose hips.
Rose hips are particularly high in vitamin C content, one of the richest plant sources available. During World War II, the people of Britain were encouraged through letters to The Times newspaper, articles in the British Medical Journal, and pamphlets to gather wild-grown rose hips and to make a vitamin C syrup for children. This was because German submarines were sinking many commercial ships: citrus fruits from the tropics were very difficult to import.

De rozenbottel is de vlezige vrucht van een roos. Botanisch gezien is de bottel niet alleen opgebouwd uit het endocarp, het exocarp en het mesocarp, maar vormt de opgezwollen bloembodem, net zoals bij de appel, het vruchtvlees.
Afhankelijk van de soort en variëteit van de roos kan de kleur rood, oranje, purper of zwart zijn. De vorm varieert van rond of langwerpig tot flesvormig. Een rozenbottel bevat veel geelwitte, harde zaden. De rozenbottel komt voor in Europa, Azië, Zuid-Amerika en Noord-Amerika.
Van rozenbottels wordt onder andere jam bereid. Deze is rijk aan vitamine C en is onder meer afkomstig van de vrucht van de hondsroos (Rosa canina). Verder bevat een rozenbottel ook vitamine A, B1 en B2.
Voor dieren is de rozenbottel een goede vrucht om de winter mee door te komen. Op meerdere plekken zijn rozenbottels het voornaamste voedsel voor vogels, zoals de koperwiek en de kramsvogel, in de maanden december, januari en februari.
