Q-“I want to cut the rose hips down that are between my garden and the road. But, if there is a good explanation for me to keep them, I'd like to not cut them down.”
A-The rose hips are the individual fruits left behind after the flower blooms. This depends on what type of roses these are and what your goals are.
If these were existing or wild roses, they could be either native roses or invasive multiflora roses. Consider reaching out to your local conservation district to help with identification. The others should be fine. Management of letting the plants go to see and get mature will also help them to be higher in fiber and lower in sugars.
