The list ofrose's virtues is long enough which allows to call rise auniversal natural medicine.It is recommended to collect rose petals early in the morning when the air is clean and humid, better after rain or abundantdew.

Hips are to be collected within the period of late August to October when they are stillhard. Green hips will not do for drying as they contain fewervitamins.Fresh hips should be dried in the shade away from direct sunrays.Better use a special dryer or an oven (at temperature of 80-100degrees centigrade).The content of ascorbic acid in hips is ten times more than inblackcurrant, 50 times more than in lemon and 100 times more than in apples.
