Rose apples are primarily ornamental trees valued for their seasonal flowers and growth as a property barrier. The fruits are not commercially cultivated due to their thin, easily bruised nature and short shelf life. Rose apples are foraged from wild and home garden trees as a seasonal delicacy. The fruits are utilized for medicinal uses and are eaten fresh or cooked in a wide array of sweet and savory preparations.
