Floral Friday

I love roses and I love rose hips too. Some of the roses in my garden were chosen as much for their hips as for their flowers.
I spent my first five years in England and so ate school dinners which I remember enjoying.  We were given rice pudding with rose hip syrup and to this day I can still remember the delicious taste of the syrup.  I've tried in vain to track it down, there's lots of rose petal jams and sometimes even rose hip jam but I've never found the syrup.
Every Friday Bronwyn hosts Floral Friday and has something beautiful to share.  You can take a look here at Korumburra Quilting.
I'm off to Gail B's to buy some fabric for Maree's birthday.  What Fun!

  4. Pretty picture! I guess I don't know what a rose hip actually is - although I adore roses.

  5. Just found heaps of recipes on google - try rosehip syrup rather that rose hip syrup.

  7. I'm with you Melody. I love the look of rose-hips. I will look out for the syrup for you. I have a feeling it is what I used to give the kids before Ribena. It was definitely rose-hip syrup, either yellow or red in a 750ml bottle. Can't remember what it was called.
    Thanks for joining in today.
