This is not rose hip surup but it would certainly fulfill the Vitamin C
requirement you ack for. The fisrt is a recipe for the puree and the second a
recipe for the jam which if cooked down and the pectin were left out might
very well result in a type of syrup. I have no idea where I picked them up at.

Rose Hip Puree                          

To make Rose Hip puree use the following method: Select the best
Rose Hips (either red or orange) and wash in clean water. Remove the
withered flower ends, and place in a saucepan with the water.  Boil
till tender (about 20 minutes) and rub through a sieve. 

ROSE HIP JAM

1 box powdered Pectin                 3 1\2 Rose Hip Puree
4 1\2 C. Sugar                        1\4 t. Margarine

Put rose hip puree and pectin in an 8 quart saucepan.  Mix well.
Bring to a boil, stirring constantly.  Add sugar and margarine, all
at one time, to boiling mixture.   Return to boil and let boil for 4
more minutes, stirring constantly.  Remove from heat, skim foam.  
Fill sterilized jars,seal and turn upside down for 5 minutes to seal.
