I have been told that a Rosehip plant is a Rosa Rugosa or Rosa Canina.
I looked at various pictures online and Canina looks like to me what
I'm looking for. In europe they make tea from Rosehips...
How can I obtain plants that I could plant? I'm in Indiana.
Thanks
The traditional Rosehip Oil is from the hips of Rosa rubiginosa aka Rosa
Mosquita aka Rosa eglanteria aka Sweetbriar Rose:

Dave here had beautiful pictures of a Sweetbriar Rose plant that he
grows, ad IIRC, Dave lives in Tennessee - may be he will tell us where
he got his rose from; Dave?
In the meanwhile, this company offers seeds of R. eglanteria:

Here is a link that contains links to who might sell this rose:

Of the top of my head, I would recommend Amity Heritage Roses from that
list, but you might prefer a nursery which is in your geographic area.
