Did you know that growing rose hips is prohibited in Finland?
This ban was introduced in Finland in 2019. We explain why.
Why Rose Hips Can't Be Grown in Finland
In 2019, the Finnish Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry added the rugosa rose to the list of harmful plants.
This decision was made due to the fact that this plant is invasive.
This means that the plant spreads quickly and displaces other crops.
The ban was preceded by a three-year transition period.
Also in Finland it is prohibited to grow Sakhalin knotweed and lupine.
