hypnoticmonkey said:Traditional wisdom says to wait until after the first frost before picking rose hips, but all of the ones round here will definitely be mush and going off before that happens.
I've heard from a number of people that freezing them is as good as waiting for the frost but, like Tim says, I half expect they'll come out much the same as they went in. I might try a freeze/thaw/freeze/thaw with them and see how that goes.
