Why do rose hips stay on the bush in winter instead of falling off?

Rose hips persist on the bush through winter because their tough skin and low moisture content make them resistant to frost. Birds and small mammals gradually feed on them during cold months, acting as natural seed dispersers. The fruits of Rosa canina can remain viable on bare branches well into February, providing a vital food source in snow-covered landscapes.
