About Rose hips:
French scientific name is "cynorhodon" (fruit de la "rose des chiens"), or (popular) "gratte-cul" because the bristles of the seeds scratche the skin.
Also known as "chopécul" in Eastern France; traditionnally harvested to make a home made jam, some distilleries produce digestive spirits from (either wild or cultivated) Rose hips.
