Unless you want the fruit whole just tear the leaves off then the bud is easy. A lot quicker and easier on the fingers. Also due to arthritis in my hands I don't have the strength to push them through any more.

I want to know if rosella plants only have a one season life. I have been told to pull them out but have also been told they will have. Few more crops.

Hello, I'm not much into making jams, but am always looking for various different plants to increase the nutritional value and variety in my cooking. Mary Williams, mentioned using Rosella buds in a curry. I'm just wondering where else Rosella can be used, apart from jams and jellies? Thanks..

I make and sell Rosella products at local markets. As a requirement of the food standards of Australia/New Zealand, I have to include the nutritional values of Rosella 'fruit'. I have not been able to find this list anywhere. Can anyone help, please? (Before I pull ALL of my hair out) This is what is required as follows; Energy: kJ Protein: g Total fat: g Saturated fat: g Carbohydrate: g Sugars: g Sodium: mg

Try the USDA (US Dept of Ag) or FDA (US food & drug admin). I recall reading a PDF doc from them a few years back that listed all that info for various foods. It had caloric, fat, protein & mineral composition of a large number of food items. Rosella (or US name equivalent) may be amongst them.

I live in Melbourne and am growing Rosellas for the first time . My plants are now around 1 1/2 metres high and fruiting really well. A month ago I put my 5 plants in a small greenhouse and water them with warm water to keep the soil a little warmer and they seem to be quite happy. I have learnt a lot and look forward to a much better result next season. A childhood treat to be relived in my 60's.
