>>

>>Leave it along then .. it'll go native in time. ;-)

>`twas pretty natural when we got it but not native prairie.

 

Probably ain't been native prairie in 100 years or so .. Missouri began

to become civilized about that time and is almost there now.

>>

>>Rosa rugosa or Rosa mosqueta .. large, round and red.

>>Rosa virginiana ............... small, round and red.

>>Rosa pimpinellifolia .......... small, round and black.

> the rose bush is one of my goats favorite foods to brouse on.

 

Lucky goats methinks.

 

> the rose hips are loaded with vit C for them. maybe you could tell

> me if these rose hips you talk about, are freeze dried or what?

 

Not freeze dried .. sun dried.

 

> me thinks tis best for the goats to have them as natural as possible.

 

Yea .. goats do like nat'ul stuff .. best it is to ensure the labels on

the cans are glued on with nat'ul or certified organic glue.

 

>>>is it possible to get these road side roses with large hips?

>>>*butch, behave!*

>>

>>I have seen a few .. and I always behave like a Suthran Gennelman.

>>Sometimes Road Side Roses .. like Street Kitty Katz .. are worthy of

>>Matters not a lot about the hips methinks .. and new petals can make a
