Rose Hip Jam Wins the War
When oranges and cherries were scarce during World War Two,
School children still needed Vitamin C, so what to do?
Rose hip jam was discovered, made of roses, so cold.
By scientists, who tried hard to figure it out, big and bold.
So the jam was made from the gorgeous winter roses so red,
And it kept the sweet and the happy in children as they climbed into bed.
Rose hip jam, your vitamin C was fresh and pulp-full,
And it kept scared children’s dreams a bit more hopeful!
