Dog Rose

Rose petal and rose hips are used a lot to make jams, jellies, cordials, vinegars and sweets. Rose flavoured Turkish delight has been produced in Turkey since the 15th century and is known there as lokum.

Rosehip syrup is a natural source of vitamin C, containing 20 times more vitamin C than oranges by weight.

Rose petal butter is another delicacy. To make it, take a packet of unsalted butter and wrap it in highly scented rose petals and seal in a container in the fridge overnight. The next day, the butter has a delicate flavour that can be spread on bread and served with a few fresh rose petals to make the classic rose petal sandwich. Rose petal jam makes a delicious filling for cakes and can also be served to accompany meats and used as a topping for scones and toast
