Rather pronounced on certain female roses when they walk. Seriously, it's the fruiting body left after the flower ripens and the petals fall off. They look a little like very small red apples, and are rather sour. Aintcha ever had rose hip tea?


BTW: from the Forme of Cury, # 86 as counted in CoI...

86. Sawse Sarzyne. Take heppes and make hem clene. Take almaundes
blaunched; fry hem in oile and bray hem in a morter with heppes. Draw it
up with gode red wyne, and do (th)erin sugur ynowh(gh) with powdour
fort: lat it be stondyng, and alay it with flour of rys, and color it
with alkenet and messe it forth; and florissh it with pomme garnet. If
(th)ou wilt, in flesshe day, see(th) capouns, and take (th)e brawn and
tese hym smal, and do (th)erto, and make the licour of (th)is broth.
