Well, these were used in period. Or are you only asking for non-period
uses of these?
Go to the top of the Florilegium and use the search engine to search
on "rose hips". I suspect there are referances to these throughout
the Florilegium.
You might also look specifically at these files in the PLANTS, HERBS
AND SPICES section:
flowers-msg (7K) 9/21/01 Period flowers. Growing flowers.
roses-art (36K) 5/15/97 "Sacred Iron Posies" by Daniel del Cavallo.
(medieval roses).

And this one in the FOOD section:

I'm not sure, but I think some of the techniques given in this file
in the FOOD section might be of use in drying them:
