What part of a rose (rosehips) is used in the making of tea?

I have a number of rose bushes in my yard. Is there a specific variety/type of rose and which part of the plant is used as the rosehips found in tea blends? Thank you.

the rose hip is the seed casing left behind after the flower blooms and withers away. thats the part normally used for making tea.





you can also eat the petals, or use them for tea. just make sure you do not use any pesticides or chemicals on your roses, or you cant use them.
Reply:Rose hips are those bud-like things that are left after the petals fall off.

Reply:Hmmmm call my crazy but I think it's their "hips" :)
Reply:If I'm not mistaken I think that is only a brand name and not the way they make their tea.
Reply:The rose hip is the part just underneath the bloom.
Reply:Rosa rugosa is the best type of rose although any rose works. The "Fruit" forms after the flower has died and it sort of looks like a cherry tomato. Deseed them and dry them or use in tea right away. They are a great source of vitamin C.
