Rosehips were apparently never utilized very extensively by the 
Flatheads, at least before the introduction of sugar, after which it 
was used to make jellies (RS). It may be that the hips were used 
especially during severe winters as they remain on the bush all 
winter. An infusion of the petals, the bark, or the roots was used 
for sore eyes caused by excessive exposure to the sun (PB, RD, 
AP, RSW).
