Don't turn your backs on your rose bushes as cool weather approaches. They have one more gift to offer up in thanks for the watering, trimming, fertilizing and Japanese beetle battling you have persisted in since spring: their beautiful brilliant red seed pods known as hips. There is viritually no more stunning accent to be found for a September bouquet, and some cultivars produce hips up to an inch in diameter.
