rose hip
Seed pod, red
Rose hip is the fruit of a rose plant—a small, rounded pod that forms after the flower fades.
Rose hips are rich in vitamin C and used in teas, jams, and herbal remedies: Rose hip tea is supposed to boost immunity.
They appear in late summer through fall, often bright red or orange against bare branches.
