Genus Rosa.Pdf Fig 1. Ornamental plants of Rosa L. [Photo credit: W. Cetzal-Ix] 2 Fig 2. Different global cultivars of Rosa L. (Rosaceae). [Photo credits: R Sengupta & S. K. Basu] 3 Roses are native to Asia, with some species reported to be native from the continents of Europe, North America, and northwestern Africa. Roses cultivated across the planet for commercial purposes are either local and native species or cultivars and hybrids. Most species of roses undergoes hybridization quite easily and hence has been successful in generating wide varieties of clones, hybrids, mutants and genotypes producing a beautiful spectrum of different colored petals and wide ranges of fragrances. Roses are known to be cultivated in ancient China and then spread to the Indian subcontinent and to the empire of Persia most possibly for its fragrance and color; and then slowly to the Middle East and finally into the continent of Europe most possibly through the Arab traders. Historic accounts refer to the fact that roses became extremely popular among the ancient Romans and also among Roman aristocratic families and the royal court due to its beauty, fragrance and several pharmaceutical properties. Rose is the national flower of the United States of America, the United Kingdom and the Maldives. Different cultivars of Rosa sp are presented in Fig 2. Rosa is one of major economically important genera of ornamental horticulture; also of nutritionally important for the edible temperate fruits, as well as for its medicinal or nutraceuticals uses. Several economically important species of the Rosa are summarized in Table 1. The economical importance of Rose oil Rose oils constitute different ingredients like 2-phenylethanol, citronellol, ingredient geraniol, nerol, stearopten waxes etc. Rose oil is used as perfume in the production of soap and cosmetics and as flavor in liquors and tea. Being mildly antimicrobial and rich in fragrance, it is used in lotions, soaps and creams. It is also used in the traditional treatment of exhaustion and fatigue, anemia, asthma, liver dysfunctions and some gastrointestinal problems and due to positive impact on the nervous system activity; it is also used as a relaxing, toning and cooling agent. 4 Table 1.

We examined the effect of cytokinin BA (1-10 µM) added to an MS medium (Murashige and Skoog 1962) on auxiliary shoot multiplication. The second group of test media contained BA (1-5 µM) and gibberellin GA3 (0.3-1.5 µM). The cultures were maintained at a phytotron temperature of 23/25°C (night/ day), 80% relative humidity, with a 16-hour photoperiod and PPFD of 30 µmol m-2 s-1, and cultured in five-week cycles. The highest multiplication rate was obtained for R. canina and R. rubiginosa (4.1 shoots per one explant) and R. dumalis (2.9 shoots per one explant), when shoots were multiplied on an MS medium supplemented with 1 µM BA and 1.5 µM GA3. Multiplication was the weakest in Rosa tomentosa independent of the medium used.

Reeder 2013 All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT ASSESSMENT OF GULLELE BOTANIC GARDENS CONSERVATION STRATEGY IN ADDIS ABABA, ETHIOPIA RESEARCH FROM THE PEACE CORPS MASTERS INTERNATIONAL PROGAM Monitoring of current and future conditions is critical for a conservation area to quantify results and remain competitive against alternative land uses. This study aims to monitor and evaluate the objectives of the Gullele Botanic Gardens (GBG) in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. The following report advances the understanding of existing understory and tree species in GBG and aims to uncover various attributes of the conservation forest. To provide a baseline dataset for future research and management practices, this report focused on species composition and carbon stock analysis of the area. Species-specific allometric equations to estimate above-ground biomass for Juniperus procera and Eucalyptus globulus are applied in this study to test the restoration strategy and strength of applied allometry to estimate carbon stock of the conservation area. The equations and carbon stock of the forest were evaluated with the following hypothesis: Removal of E. globulus of greater than 35cm DBH would impact the carbon storage (Mg ha-1) significantly as compared to the overall estimate. Conservative estimates found E.

  • Marion Garden Rose Garden
    Marion Garden Rose Garden The Rose Garden is a work in constant change to demonstrate how to grow and maintain a variety of roses that are suitable for home gardens in the Willamette Valley. Selection of plants has been based on suitability for landscape use, resistance to disease, repeat blooming, and availability to the home gardener. If we find that a rose bush has a lot of disease problems or does not bloom well it is removed. The visitor will find mostly hybrid teas but also floribundas, grandifloras, shrub roses and an English (Austin) rose. There is also one upright climbing rose named ‘Antique’. Two clematis vines (Viola and Asso) have been planted on either side of the climbing rose trellis. Clematis are a good compliment to large climbing roses and add interest and color to the garden. All the rose bushes have ID tags which include the name of the rose, type, any awards it has received, name of the hybridizer, and the year the rose was introduced. There are a couple of roses that do not have ID tags because they were donated and names were not known. They are good disease resistant plants with a good bloom habit so are used for cuttings for rose propagation workshops. There is also a Lonicera fragrantissima (winter honeysuckle, January jasmine, or Chinese honeysuckle) growing on the northwest corner of the rose garden. It has fragrant white flowers in January and February. It was there when this garden was started and is a nice shrub for the home garden. It is pruned in the spring after it finishes blooming.

Therefore a comprehensive review of the literature was conducted to summarize the pharmacological and clinical effects of Rosa canina L. to reevaluate its usefulness in traditional medicine. For various preparations of rose hip and rose hip and seed, antioxidative and antiinflammatory effects have been demonstrated. Lipophilic constituents are involved in those mechanisms of action. The proprietary rose hip and seed powder LitozinR has been employed successfully in a number of exploratory studies in patients suffering from osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis and low back pain. However, the sizes of the clinical effects for the different indications need to be determined to assure clinical significance. There is also a rationale behind the use of LitozinR as part of a hypocaloric diet based on the rose hip probiotic, stool regulating and smooth muscle-relaxing actions, as well as the rose hip seed lipid-lowering, antiobese and antiulcerogenic effects.

  • Taxonomic Review of the Genus Rosa
    REVIEW ARTICLE Taxonomic Review of the Genus Rosa Nikola TOMLJENOVIĆ 1 ( ) Ivan PEJIĆ 2 Summary Species of the genus Rosa have always been known for their beauty, healing properties and nutritional value. Since only a small number of properties had been studied, attempts to classify and systematize roses until the 16th century did not give any results. Botanists of the 17th and 18th century paved the way for natural classifi cations. At the beginning of the 19th century, de Candolle and Lindley considered a larger number of morphological characters. Since the number of described species became larger, division into sections and subsections was introduced in the genus Rosa. Small diff erences between species and the number of transitional forms lead to taxonomic confusion and created many diff erent classifi cations. Th is problem was not solved in the 20th century either. In addition to the absence of clear diff erences between species, the complexity of the genus is infl uenced by extensive hybridization and incomplete sorting by origin, as well as polyploidy. Diff erent analytical methods used along with traditional, morphological methods help us clarify the phylogenetic relations within the genus and give a clearer picture of the botanical classifi cation of the genus Rosa. Molecular markers are used the most, especially AFLPs and SSRs. Nevertheless, phylogenetic relationships within the genus Rosa have not been fully clarifi ed. Th e diversity of the genus Rosa has not been specifi cally analyzed in Croatia until now.

The galls support species-rich, closed communities of inquilines and parasitoids that have become a model system in community ecology. We review recent advances in the ecology of oak cynipids, with particular emphasis on life cycle characteristics and the dynamics of the interactions between host plants, gall wasps, and natural enemies. We assess the importance of gall traits in structuring oak cynipid communities and summarize the evidence for bottom-up and top-down effects across trophic levels.

PAZHOUHI Fertility and Infertility Research Center, Health Technology Institute, Kermanshah University of Medical Sciences, Kermanshah, Iran Abstract – Rosa canina L. (Rosacea family) is an ornamental plant with erect prickly shrub and fragrant pink or white flowers, grown for decorative purposes in gardens and landscape designs projects. It is native to Europe, northwest Africa, and western Asia. Its fruits are extensively used worldwide in food preparation. It is traditionally proposed as a dietary supplement and herbal remedy for the prevention and treatment of different human diseases. This review aimed to inves- tigate the pharmacological and therapeutic properties of R. canina in traditional medicine and sci- entific papers. Results from numerous studies indicated that this plant owned many biological po- tencies, including anti-inflammatory, anti-tumor, immunomodulatory, anti-microbial, anti-oxidant, pain reduction, anti-diabetic, anti-hyperlipidemic, neuroprotective, genoprotective, anti-obesity, skin-whitening, and anti-biotic resistance reversal activity as well as exerting a positive influence on the osteoarthritis, anxiety, depression, recognition memory, urinary and reproductive systems disorders, and neutrophil respiratory burst. Nevertheless, the exact mechanism of action for these properties is not fully recognized. Due to the lack of toxicity and side effects, this plant has been considered as a valuable complementary drug for various diseases. Further clinical trials are needed to confirm the reported promising experimental effects in clinical use. KEYWORDS: Rosa canina, Anti-oxidant, Anti-cancer, Anti-diabetes, Osteoarthritis. INTRODUCTION torical background, revealed a wide spectrum of phar- macological potential.
