And speaking of rose hip jelly:

I was truly looking forward to making batches of it this year, and my roses
were cooperating with masses of blooms and gently alluring hips... until
mid-October when it inexplicably rained buckets here. Days and days, nights
and nights of rain. My rose bushes sagged to the ground, the flowers fell,
and the once seductive hips turned to mush.

I'm so mad I could spit.
