I’m sure they’re inedible but they look juicy and delicious…

Not juicy, but they are edible. Once you remove the seeds. We used to use the seeds as itching powder, which might clue you to their nature. The remains are best simmered slowly. Rosehip syrup… you might recognise the name.

I thank you. I’d taken photos of heavily laden briars. But it was just too much to take in. Better to focus on the few. Though believe me, the hedegrows this year are scarlet with hips, not the usual crimson with haws.

I just realized that although I immediately grasped that you were referring to rose hips in the title, I had never actually known what rose hips *were*. Only that they were somehow related to roses and could be made into tea. Now that I’ve finally seen them, they’re quite lovely!

They are indeed. These are wild ones, dog rose. Those you find in gardens tend to be chunkier, and veer more to crimson.

Seeing those, I would never have recognized that as a rose bush. Now I will! (Well, maybe, if I actually remember).

I won’t say it can’t be mistaken for anything else. In UK it can’t, but I don’t know about your more exotic flora.
