| Yes - I have Peach Drift, and I have been deadheading off hips all Summer & Fall. Here is a pic I just took 5 minutes ago - the hips are not yet "fully developed" because they are from the last flush of just a few weeks ago, but every single bloom has turned into a hip. They are now green, small, and spherical. Jackie |

| Thanks Jackie, I have been watching for hips at the local stores and nuseries on Drifts. I wanted to get a drift that produced hips. But they seem to dry before they set. No local store has peach, like yours. Guess peach is the one to get. I saw a pink with hips at one nursery. None of the other pink Drifts they had produced hips; they dried before they developed. Except for one pink. It was in a neglected basket. The plant looked almost dead, but it set hips, like in a last attempt to multiple. I asked the owner if I could have the hips; he said sure. Then I wondered if hips on the pinks were actually rare, or not. Or if hips on any Drift was rare. So I am glad to hear rose hips are set on Peach. Thanks for the info, Bob |
