Few thorns on this dense dark green shrub. This shrub planted on the pathway in the retail area is covered with newly formed buds (in this heat!). Second photo shows the hips that are starting to fill out. These hips are an other reason to enjoy this rose in the fall.

For those people living in Central Texas wanting a Camellia, this would be a great alternative.

Rose hips

The biggest bloom of the season has past here at The Antique Rose Emporium San Antonio and we are in the process of dead heading the hips. This will indicate to the rose bushes the seed is lost and it must flower again to make a new seed.

I think this hip is perfection. A pretty little star flower looking up to the sun.
