Is this edible?

I have this plant in my garden with lots of berries and I would like to know what it is and if the berries are edible. Can anyone help please?

    Looks like a rose to me.

    Yes, I think they look like rose hips. The hairs inside form itching powder. You can make rose hip jam combined with apples, or rosehip syrup, sieving out the hairs.

    Or rosehip wine but it wasn't that great. Like rosehip syrup for adults.

  • Thank you - like the idea of making wine from this plant! Although looks like I should avoid the itchy hairs!
