My View of Life on the Dock
Most of The Rosa Rugosa have dropped their flowers though few still remain. What is left behind are the bulbous rose hips. The Rose Hips start out green then turn to yellow, orange and then deep red.

In the right of the picture you can see the rose hip which is what is left after the flowers fall off of the stems. The rose hips are the fruit which people used to make jam out of in the old days. In a couple months the rose hips will turn orange-red from the present green color.
