Overview - Rosehips are the fruit of the rose plants known as Rosa canina, and more commonly as the Common Briar or the Dog Rose. A simple flower, this ancient rose produces a fruit after blooming that is full of nutrition and medicinal goodness. Roses have long been used as a medicinal remedy.

  1. Love this! 5 Star Review

    Posted by on 24th Feb 2024

    I love doing business with Mountain Maus, this is my first purchase of Rose Hips and was very happy with them. I don't ever mind paying extra for UPS because USPS is so slow and our mail is delivered late in the evening and stuffed into my mailbox, so I will never use USPS again, UPS delivers right to my door while it is still daylight! Thanks for your kindness and the care you put into all that I order from y'all. God bless this company.

  8. Fresh! 5 Star Review

    Posted by on 6th Dec 2014

    You can tell that the rose hips were harvested by this vendor and not purchase from a herb store that supplies bulk. Color is vibrant, smell is fresh and when brewed it has a delightful aroma and taste is good.
