An introduction to the botany of this family reveals the often little-known relationship of the rose with so many familiar fruits, such as raspberry, blackberry, plum and quince. Equally unsuspected may be the inclusion of lady’s mantle, salad burnet and meadowsweet. A practical day with many delicious recipes.
The glories of the Apothecary’s rose may have passed with the summer, but the rose will still be very much present in dried form, preserves and delicious aromatic water. Other members of the Rose family are at their best providing fruits and berries for our winter health – sloes, crab apples, rowan berries, hips and haws are very much part of our traditional autumn harvest. A harvest to fill winter store-cupboards with remedies and treats. We also look at harvesting roots with the meadowsweet, as well as making health-giving teas with agrimony, raspberry leaf, rosehip and hawthorn.
