During World War II England's supply of citrus fruits was cut off with trade interference. Vitamin C, a primary dietary source, was therefore not available and British children began to show early signs of scurvy.
It was discovered that the hips of wild roses that grew naturally in the hedge rows across the country provided 24-36 times more vitamin C than orange juice and 60 times more than lemons. Rose hips also provided vitamins A, B, E, K, and P as well as phosphorus, calcium, and niacin.
Many people today take rose hips regularly. It sounds like a natural multi-vitamine.
