Edible hips? Do you mean as in rose hip syrup? After the second world war we kids were sent out by our schools to collect these for some mysterious body that converted them into rose hip syrup. Never got paid for it They were just the hips of the wild dog rose.
Pansyface, I can also remember collecting rose hips at school. Long time ago! But how can you say we didn't get paid - we had a wonderful afternoon's ramble out in the sunshine, away from school desks and learning. And the sun did shine in those far off days!

Rosa Rugosa has among the best hips for culinary use, but it is prickly and can get quite big. http://www.davidaustinroses.co.uk/english/Showrose.asp?Showr=256
