Sweet post and reminded me of my mother, born in 1928, used to go out with her school in Scotland when she was a girl, while Britain had food rationing through World War ll. All the school children were 'employed' in the task of collecting Rosehips from the hedgerows, for the very fact that they were loaded with vitamin C (and nobody wanted these wartime kids to end up with Scurvy, like the British sailors of yore!!). As far as I remember, the Rosehips were then reduced into a syrup for all the children to get their medicinal dose.
