English Wild Rose is a resilient and beautiful climbing rose, known for its graceful pink blooms and bright red hips. It is surprisingly tough and adaptable, thriving in varied soil types and growing conditions.

Blooming profusely in late spring and summer, the simple yet elegant flowers attract pollinators and beneficial insects, making it a valuable addition to naturalised landscapes. The oblong, bright red rose hips ripen in autumn and become even sweeter after frost, making them ideal for teas, syrups, and jams.

Unlike some other wild roses, this variety does not spread aggressively through root suckers, making it an excellent choice for controlled growth in gardens and along fence lines.

Where Can You Grow English Wild Rose?
English Wild Rose thrives in Zones 4-9, preferring full sun to partial shade and well-drained soil. It is well-suited for hedgerows, wildlife gardens, and trellised landscapes.

History and Historical Uses
Native to Europe, English Wild Rose has long been valued for its beauty, hardiness, and medicinal properties. The rose hips are rich in vitamin C and antioxidants, traditionally used in herbal teas, jams, and immune-boosting remedies. In England, wild roses have been planted in countryside hedgerows for centuries, adding both aesthetic charm and practical benefits.

Canadian Zone Information
Zones 8-9: Plant in autumn or early spring for optimal establishment.
Zones 5-7: Transplant in spring after the last frost, ensuring well-drained soil.
Zones 4: Grow in a sheltered location, mulching roots for winter protection.

How to Grow and Harvest English Wild Rose

  • Planting: Space plants 1.2-1.8m (4-6ft) apart in full sun or partial shade.
  • Watering: Keep soil moderately moist, but avoid waterlogging.
  • Support: Train along fences, trellises, or walls for best growth.
  • Harvesting:
    • Pick rose hips in autumn after they fully ripen.
    • Use immediately or dry for long-term storage.
  • Pruning: Trim after flowering to maintain shape and encourage future blooms.

Seed Saving Tips for Future Supply

  • Allow Hips to Ripen: Leave some bright red hips on the plant until late autumn.
  • Harvest Seeds: Cut open ripe hips and remove the small seeds inside.
  • Dry and Clean: Rinse seeds and allow them to fully dry.
  • Stratification: Store seeds in a moist paper towel in the fridge for 60-90 days before planting.
  • Store: Keep dry seeds in an airtight container in a cool, dark place. Properly stored seeds remain viable for up to 3 years.

It's good for storytelling but has content in stories that's inappropriate in this century
Format: Audiobook
Well modulated interesting and excellent storytelling ability, and skills to teach us of the same. However. I get to the 2nd lesson, it's a book of fiction for the story premise. She describes a woman in her family who can't get pregnant (in the old days), knowing her husband really wants children,and gets happy, as she turns to her "maid" and exclaims that this is alright, he can have a child with their maid! Then the storytelling author, laughs, jokes, about pleasing him and when she says the audience is laughing too, that maybe he can get a 2nd maid pregnant too. Laughing and joking I. The man's eyes as she tells it, about men and their sex drives. I'm not reading g a Victorian romance novel or of the plantation owners in the south, I'm reading a book of lessons on good story telling. This turned me off 500%, and I am done with this author and this book. Is this told by an FDLS polygamist, or ...what? What would make this story in 2013, OK to teach in a college course, or in this book? I don't care if she even made it up for a family old story.

A Book For Audio
Format: Audiobook
The Art of Storytelling from Parents to Professionals is the first book that I can be confident in saying is better as an audio version than it would be in a paper or Kindle form because you can here the verbal inflections and the storytellers can change character, voice much easier than the printed word might. It also captures the listeners attention as the author herself can connect in a lot more personal and intimate way. My concern is while I can understand what the author is getting at, I am not aspiring to be an oral performance style storyteller and there was not enough of a reach out from the world of oral storytelling to the written story. I mean how many of us are going to get up on stage and tell stories? I guess you can take the skills from one realm and use them elsewhere, but the connection may not be made so easily. This was an audiobook that I had a lot of fun with, even if I didn’t quite get what I was hoping for from it.

Great Overview of the Art of Storytelling
Format: Audiobook
I chanced on this as an Audible "freebie" to keep on the list for when I was out of credits. Well, it's excellent, and well worth the listen. And excellent survey of the topic spanning topics of performance (preparing, voice, body language, projection), various aspects of framing (culture, age, ethnicity, audience size), story structure and so on This point is for Hannah B. Harvey, if perchance she reads tese reviews. One point of modern storytelling and writing that is not brought out in your lectures, is that some of the best villain/antagonists are actually the heroes/protagonists of their own stories. This is tangentially alluded to in talking about story viewpoints, but not to the extent that it can be an entirely new story, as Wicked and Maleificent turned The Wizard of Oz and Sleeping Beauty on their heads. And even in the 1960's, many a Bond 007 villain was trying to create what they imagined to be a better world. It's useful to consider in storytelling, as far too many people have forgotten/fail to see the fundamental moral ambiguities of life, and I suspect that goes a long way to explaining the extreme partisanship we see in the world today.

Sadly, I found the tips and the examples in this lecture to be very simplistic and uninspiring.
Format: Audiobook
I expected a professional storyteller to be able to keep my interest but I found the presentation to be quite boring. I got nothing out of it that I didn’t already know from just being an avid reader. It felt like a high school lecture. Sigh!!
