May 2020: Dog rose [Rosa canina] (Hundsrose): When I was a school boy the roses started to bloom in June, it was a token for summer. This year the wild roses started to flower in April already when you didn't have the feeling of summer yet. I like the wild roses very much and in autum again when they give us the rose hips I pulp to pruduce jam, sirup, rose hip tea and fruit bars. They contain a lot of vitamin C and also some vitamin B, K and P. When they are fully ripe they get soft and are very sweet to eat right from the rosebush.
