STOP AND EAT THE ROSES

When I was born, my father brought my mother roses.  The doctor asked to eat them.

Roses are an excellent source of vitamin C.  You can eat the petals and even make a jelly from them.  If you allow the flower to mature on the plant, the petals will fall off and leave behind the marble-sized fruit.  A cup of the fruit (aka “hips”) contains as much vitamin C as 12-dozen oranges.
