'''Rose Hips''' are a natural medical and food item used to treat [[Afflictions]] in ''The Long Dark''.

== Overview ==
Rose Hips can can be found in the wilderness growing on 2 types of Rose Bushes. Grey ones typically grow in clusters of 1-4 units, while green ones grow on or near [[Rock Climb|Rock Climbs]]. A single Rose Bush yields 8 Rose Hips when Harvested. Rose Hips can be found rarely inside of containers. They cannot be directly consumed and must be used in the cooking recipes such as [[Camber Flight Porridge]] and [[Rose Hip Pie]], or crafted into [[Prepared Rose Hips]] and then cooked into [[Rose Hip Tea]].<gallery>

==Tips==

*Harvesting 3 Rose Bushes (at 8 Rose Hips each) is required to craft 1 unit of Prepared Rose Hips/Rose Hip Tea.
*Rose Hips are found sporadically in all regions growing on Rose Bushes, particular in mountainous areas near ledges or cliffs. They frequently are near entrances to [[Cave (disambiguation)|Caves]], Rose Climbs, deployment points for [[Mountaineering Rope|Mountaineering Ropes]], and secret locations.
*Teas may be heated/reheated to grant the Warming Up Benefit by placing them on a fire's cooking spot, or nearby a lit fire.
*Broken Ribs are permanent if left untreated, though Pain and Burns will dissipate naturally with time (4-30 hours).
*Pain has minimal effect on gameplay (aside from blurry vision) with it's only limitation being an inability to read [[Research Book|Research Books]] while afflicted, and subsides automatically with time. This generally makes treating Pain a wasteful decision, to carry Painkillers consume them instead of reserving their use to treat Broken Ribs or Burns.
*Painkillers cannot be crafted and Rose Hips do not regrow; however Painkillers are renewable via [[Beachcombing]].
*Crafting Rose Hips into Prepared Rose Hips will make them easier to transport.
*Teas are more weight efficient than Water for the Hydration they grant. (0.1kg of a tea grants 30% Hydration, equivalent to 0.25kg of water).
*Teas never [[Decay]] once cooked.
*The condition of Painkillers decays slowly over time (based on [[Survival Mode]]). Upon reaching 0% Condition, they become unusable and will disappear if inside of a container, but all forms of Rose Hips do not decay.

==History==

*Rose Hips and other harvestable plants and remedies were introduced on 7 February 2015 in [[The_Long_Dark/Changelog#0.192|update 0.192]].
*As of the 1.0 [[Wintermute]] update (August 1, 2017) Rose Hips must be prepared before cooking them.

==Trivia==

*Rose Hips (also known as Rosehip, Rosehep or Rosehaw) are a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rose_hip real world plant] and accessory fruit to Rose Bushes, similar to their in-game representation including their use as a painkiller.
*Real-World Rose Hips have a history as a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Famine_food poverty food], particularly with Native American peoples during survival situations or times of hardship, as well as for ornamental purposes.
*In The Long Dark, Painkillers and Tea must be applied directly to treat a specific injury (similar to a Bandage), unlike real-world orally-taken drugs which become generally distributed through the body.
