Rose hips are the fruit of the rose plant. These shrubs are commonly found all along the beaches in Connecticut and the New England shoreline. Rose hips are high in vitamim C, and are used to make jelly, tea, sauces and other food items. Here is more info if you are interested: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rose_hip
