Rosa canina is a species of plants belonging to the genus Rose hip (Rosa) of the Rosaceae family. Rosa canina is a deciduous shrub, reaching a height of 1.5 to 2.5 m. The shoots are thick, arched, less often almost straight. The bark is green, turning red on the sunny side. The thorns are sparse, sickle-shaped, with a very short base, laterally compressed, almost straight on the main stems, abundant on flowering shoots, always hooked-curved.
The middle leaves of the flowering shoots are 7-9 cm long, glabrous, dotted with short hairs only along the main vein, unpaired-pinnately complex, with seven, less often five or nine simply sharp-edged along the edge (often the teeth end with a gland), ovate-elliptical, on apex with short pointed leaves, 2-2.5 cm long and 1-1.5 cm wide. At the base of the leaf there is a narrow, glandular-ciliated stipule along the edge, with sharp ears.
Flowers are odorless, solitary or collected in groups of three to five in an apical corymbose inflorescence, from white to bright pink, reaching a diameter of 5-8 cm. The sepals below are covered with short hairs, in most cases bare above, up to 20-25 mm long, broadly lanceolate, with abundant feathery appendages, after flowering they bend back and fall off long before the fruits ripen. Petals are shorter than sepals; the disk is wide, up to 4-5 mm in diameter, flat or cone-shaped, with a pharynx 1-1.6 mm in diameter; the columns are long, covered with white hairs; the head of the stigmas is spherical, conical, less often almost spherical. Pedicels are 12-18 mm long, often equal to the size of a mature fruit, less often shorter or longer than it, usually devoid of hairs and glands. Blooms in May - June (July).
The fruits are cynarhodia, smooth and shiny, orange-red in color, 15-26 mm long when ripe, broadly oval, less often almost spherical, devoid of glands, containing seeds inside - many hairy nuts. The fruits ripen in August.
Introduced into the Botanical Garden. Seeds of this species were brought from Khosrov and sown in the Botanical Garden by Academician F.N. Rusanov in 1979. In the spring of 1980, they were sown in the nursery and the introduction of these species was studied, and on November 23, 1983 they were planted in the European-Crimean-Caucasian exposition. Currently, there are 2 shrubs of this species growing in this exposition.
