For the first time ever, I am having success growing roses. (See submission in pic of the week).
My question is about rose hips. I admit to using Bayer Advanced Rose and Flower care. I used it because my white rose has some kind of dark speckles that looked like it could be a virus or something, and also some yellow spots on some leaves. This product stated it would help with virus and other rose problems.
Since I used this product-in the soil) does that make the rose hips unedible? I dont use anything chemical on my food garden, but did not think of rose hip tea in time to avoid it on the roses.
Edited to say I changed my avitar to show one of my roses.

I wouldn't use rose hips that grew on a rose where I'd used a systemic to manage pests, sorry.
Thanks Reinbeau.. I was thinking that myself, but guess I just hated to waste something that would have been good. BUT to be safe, I think I will not use them.
