I picked Rosa canina in England and made rose syrup.  I was intrigued to
find that after a hard freeze, they did not make syrup anymore, instead I
got a residue that settled out and looked like the vitamin C tablets with
rose hips in them.  Something about the freezing may have destroyed or
inactivated the pectin in the hips?  It was fun but I don't know how much
they would like your climate.    Donna
