It is some bees that I have finally seen on the roses.
It feels better to know that it is just some bees having a snack.
The flowers of the roses are edible and it is a nice treat if you make rose water with the petals.
When you deadhead the dead flowers you can simply add the hips to the compost pile they will add a lot of nutrients to your compost that you can feed to the roses.
@compost if you let the hips ripen, you can eat those, too. The most common uses now are to cook them into jams, jellies and syrups, and to dry them for tisanes. If you go searching for older recipes, you'll find them also in soups and stews.
