Can these rose hips be used as a source of pectin?

Admin Richo Cech –
Um, they do contain pectin but I am not sure how one would extract it. I believe it is due to pectin when they jellify their own mashed flesh if one can get it separated from the inner spiky pith.

Which of the wild roses that you grow would be the better choice for East Texas?

Hi Crissy, I personally like Rosa rugosa best, as it has luscious flowers and oversize hips. You can hit waitlist on that, as we have stock we’re working up for sale. Probably sooner than that we’ll again have california wild roses, which would also grow in texas. here’s a link to that pone.
