In zone 5, need I dry & freeze local rosehip seeds to germinate them next season?

I picked some rosehips yesterday thinking they'd look good along my fenceline. I'm about to dry them, but need I stratify too in order to get a good germination rate next year?   Thanks,  Nick      BTW, I probably have the same question for many seeds, like is this normal for zones with harsh winters to stratify?  Then I'm also freezing after drying peach & apricot seeds. It seems the drying then freezing cracks the seeds open, so does a natural scarification.  Does this rhyme with other's experience?

for some reason I believe rose hips stay on the bush through winter and fall to ground on spring if this is right, should be easy to pick once in dormancy and put them in freezer maybe.
but I'm not an expert

That's correct. Rosehips are perfectly content to stay put, through the winter. The birds and other wildlife may have other ideas, though. I'd leave them until after the first snow or at least heavy frost, then pick what you want - of course, leaving some for the wildlife. Keep in mind, each rosehip has many seeds, inside each one. And, the hip, itself is quite high in vitamin C, so don't toss those - eat them! Maybe dry some for later, too.
