Coming up Roses

Roses are coming in. I'm looking forward to making rose hip tea and all kinds of other things we have been reading about. Last year we saw the hips (never even knew if you cut the roses another would grow) but had no idea what they were or how to use them. This is the year! I'm excited about drying them and tasting them fresh. Its frustrating how everything we want to use we have to wait until autumn to harvest. Another lesson in patience I suppose, something I'm still trying to learn.
