Here is the perfect excuse not to dead-head your roses! Filmed over several months and brought to you now as roses are in bloom, Quentin Clark shows us how to make delicious rosehip syrup from dog rose hips. This 'woodland elixir' was once considered an important source of vitamin C. Quentin's son Greg then demonstrates how to use it to make the perfect British cocktail.
As with all foraging, it is important that you can correctly identify what it is you are picking. Never eat anything foraged that you are not absolutely sure of what it is as it could be deadly poisonous. If you go foraging following this film then it is at your own risk. Always check with several different sources of information that you have correctly identified the wild food, or go with an experienced forager. Also remember to make yourself aware of any countryside laws relating to foraging specific to your area, and always forage sustainably.
