How to distinguish a grafted rose from a wild rose. Rosehip - wild rose

Of course, when buying a seedling, it should be carefully examined. Experienced gardeners can distinguish the "queen of flowers" from the usual wild rose at a glance. To do this is actually extremely simple.

How to distinguish by the type of leaves

First of all, when buying a seedling, the gardener should take a closer look at the leaves of the plant. Both the wild rose and the rose have quite spectacular and have an unusual structure. In both of these cultures, each leaf consists of a "twig" and several small leaves growing on it. Asking the question of how to distinguish a rose from a wild rose, the first step is to count the number of the latter. Rose hips have 7 leaves on each "twig". In a rose, their number never exceeds 5. Sometimes on the "branches" of this culture, 3 leaves grow. Also, in rose hips, the topmost leaf is usually unpaired.

The leaves of the rose have a very dark glossy color and are quite big sizes. In rose hips, they are small, more delicate and matte. Also, the leaves of this plant have a pale green light color.

How to distinguish a rose from a wild rose by the type of shoots

On this basis, distinguishing plants is also not difficult. The rose shoots have a reddish color. Over time, they become woody and acquire a dark green color. The wild rose shoots are more tender. In addition, they initially have a light green color. If nothing red is noticeable on the seedling, it is most likely a wild rose.

Also, when buying a rose for planting, you should pay attention to the thorns of the bush. In roses, they are usually very long and rarely located. In rose hips, the spines are short and often distributed. Sometimes they even appear on the leaves and sepals of this plant.

The main distinguishing feature of a rose is its red shoots. The thorns of some varieties are also short, and the leaves are seven-petal. It is on the color of the shoot that you should first of all pay attention.

What to do if the rose turned into a dog rose

So, we figured out how to distinguish a rose from a wild rose by leaves and shoots when buying a seedling. But sometimes summer residents have problems with the "queen of flowers" even if she has already taken root on the site. The plant is tender and can easily freeze in winter. Often after this it happens that the shoots begin to grow "from the root." In this case, most often the rose turns into a wild rose. If the shoots go above the grafting site under the ground, the owners of the garden will again receive the "queen of flowers". Below the grafting site, only rosehip shoots sprout.

What to do if the rose has turned into a wild rose? In order to remedy the situation, garden owners just need to take a closer look at the bush. It often happens that along its edges a lot of wild rose shoots grow. In the middle, you can see a couple of rose branches. All that needs to be done in this case is simply to remove the rosehip.

It should be done correctly. If the rose has turned into a wild rose, it is worth cutting off unnecessary shoots by digging up the flower beds a little. Weed shoots are removed in this case right underground - at the very base. Otherwise, in the future, the rose will not look too neat, and the wild rose will begin to sprout again.

Sometimes rebirth also occurs due to improper selection of a stock or violation of planting technology. In this case, the rosehip shoots simply clog the rose shoots. It is necessary to plant the "queen of flowers" with a slight deepening of the grafting site.

Now you know how to distinguish a rose from a wild rose. Prune the first to prevent rebirth, usually twice a season. This method is, therefore, rather troublesome. It is much easier to immediately transfer the rose to “its roots”. Carry out this procedure in the spring, after thawing the soil. At the same time, a trench is dug from the trunk of the bush. Then they bend and fix one of the shoots in it. Subsequently, the branch will give roots and a new separate rose bush will appear in the garden.

You can use this method only for winter-hardy varieties of the "Queen of Flowers". A bush grown in this way will reach full decorativeness for 4-5 years.

The rose, like its close relative, belongs to the Rosaceae family. This fact explains why these two different plants are difficult to distinguish from each other, especially at the seedling stage.

Rose is a member of the genus Rosehip. Therefore, it is very often grafted onto this bush. It was obtained through painstaking selection work of scientists from around the world. To date, this flower is represented by a variety of varieties, the flowers of which have both a different color of the petals and the structure of the inflorescences. To obtain such a huge variety, the method of multiple crossing was used. At the same time, some species are forms of wild rose hips. Therefore, both plants have a genetic and external similarity.

At the same time, it should be understood that a rose is a collective name that contains various representatives of this genus. Therefore, it is not surprising that novice flower growers often confuse these plants. General points here include:

one family
some varieties of roses are considered a cultivated wild plant.

However, despite certain similarities, both plants have obvious differences. For example, rosehip, despite the external similarity, is different in that after flowering it forms a fruit that is very rich in vitamin C. According to this indicator, it even surpasses citrus fruits.

The main distinguishing characteristic of both cultures from other plants is the characteristic structure of the flower. It is bisexual and has a double perianth. The flower calyx has five fused sepals. The flowers themselves can be collected in inflorescences or located separately.

To distinguish a rose from its close relative, you need to know what to look for when buying a seedling for growing in the garden.

The main differences between rose and wild rose

The most common mistake novice flower growers who are going to breed roses is buying seedlings of a different kind. The main differences between these two closely related plants is the fact that they form different flowers. The differences here lie in the following:

rose has more decorative and beautiful flowers. Its flowers are characterized by a larger number of petals. Rosehip has five petals as standard,
the fruit-forming relative blooms in small flowers, which may have a slight doubleness. However, in these parameters they are significantly inferior to the rose. Its flowers have a pronounced core,
after flowering, rose hips form oval/round fruits. The fruits contain seeds inside. Wild varieties produce red fruits, while cultivated varieties are blue-black or orange. But roses (any variety) do not form fruits at all. After flowering, the petals from the bushes simply crumble,
plants differ in the color of the petals. Rosehip is characterized by light pink color. But roses can bloom in inflorescences of various colors: white, red, orange, pink, etc.

However, when buying seedlings, it is still impossible to evaluate plants by flower parameters. Therefore, here it is necessary to be guided by other parameters of the assessment. First, you should ask the seller if the bush has been grafted. Grafted plants have a slight thickening at the bottom of their shoot, which is the place of grafting. Below the thickening, the stem may acquire a different color.

It should be noted that own-rooted varieties of roses are not grafted. In this case, you need to rely on other parameters in which the rose differs.

In addition to the above points, a rose and a wild rose differ in leaves, shoots and thorns. Let us consider these parameters in more detail, since it is on them that attention is always focused when choosing a seedling.

You can tell one plant from another by its leaves. In roses, the leaf blade has a dark green color. At the same time, it has slightly rounded tips, leatheriness and density, as well as a shiny surface. Its leaves are larger. A rose has 3–5 leaves on a leaf branch, and a relative has 7 leaves.

Rosehip leaves are rough and dull. They usually have a light olive color. The leaf plate has a pointed tip. Edges may be uneven. Sometimes the leaves are characterized by pubescence and thorns.

The rose has young shoots of dark red color. Over time, they turn green and woody. But the shoots of the analogue are always bright green. They also form thinner.

Already on the basis of the differences between the leaves and shoots, you can determine which particular seedling they are trying to sell you.

Those who are not completely convinced by the leaves and stems should rely on such a parameter as thorns when choosing a seedling. Roses are characterized by rare, but rather large thorns. Therefore, they are considered more traumatic, although similar formations in a relative are no less dangerous. At the same time, wild rose shoots are completely strewn with short and small thorns. Here, thorns can be found not only on the stems, but also on the sepals and petioles. It is because of the abundance of spines that this plant got its name.

Despite the presence of such obvious differences, the rose still manages to pass itself off as a wild rose and vice versa. Such confusion is connected with the fact that the distinctive characteristics of these plants can be smoothed out to a certain extent by multifaceted selection work. And only a true professional can distinguish one culture from another.

When growing roses, remember not to proper care can provoke the degeneration of the bushes in the direction of the usual wild rose.

How to distinguish by the type of leaves

The leaves of the rose have a very dark glossy color and are quite large. In rose hips, they are small, more delicate and matte. Also, the leaves of this plant have a pale green light color.

How to distinguish a rose from a wild rose by the type of shoots

What to do if the rose turned into a dog rose

You can use this method only for winter-hardy varieties of the "Queen of Flowers". A bush grown in this way will reach full decorativeness for 4-5 years.

Millions of years - like from a bush

Paleobotanists claim that wild roses appeared on Earth long before the first man walked on it. Inquisitive scientists have found characteristic leaf prints in the deposits of the Tertiary period of the Cenozoic era. And this, whatever one may say, 65 million years - like from a bush! Pink, of course...

There is an opinion that the homeland of wild rose is Asia. It is difficult to specify the place more precisely - there is not a single southern people in whose history at least once a mention of a rose (meaning a dog rose) has not flashed. Cultivars were grown in Babylon four millennia ago.

In 1279-1213. BC e. The Egyptians wrote about the queen of flowers on papyrus scrolls. Imagine, we are talking about the times of the great pharaoh Ramses II. Unfortunately, history has not preserved the name of the first gardener who received a marvelous fragrant “fairy of dreams” from wild rose hips.

Rose Legends

It is known that roses have long been used for cosmetic and even culinary purposes. There were legends about them. Here, for example, is one such about the origin of rose oil. Allegedly in India, one ruler ordered to fill the moat with water with delicate fragrant petals. A strong infusion formed. So people first received a wonderful ethereal mixture.

And here is one of the traditions of Western peoples: walking in the evening in the garden, admiring the flowers, the prince learned that one beautiful girl turned into a rose by a magician. To save the unfortunate woman, it was necessary to determine exactly which plant was not just a bush, but an enchanted beauty. Young Romeo pointed to the only flower not wet with dew. And I was not mistaken! All this is very interesting, but let's return to the sinful earth: how to distinguish a rose from a wild rose?

No transformations

Breeders annually different countries Breed all new varieties of beautiful roses. But the wild-growing wild rose is not consigned to oblivion. This is due to the fact that its fruits are rich in life-giving vitamin C. Not only doctors, but also simple people. In the 16th century, there was a saying: "The rosehip is worth seven doctors." It was a very expensive drug.

Let's practice finding the differences between the decoration of the rose world and the rose hip doctor. First, let's learn for ourselves: they have one type, but these plants are different. (For comparison: the mother of the children is one, but the children are each "on their own"). You can often hear: "My rose has turned into a wild rose." Now you understand that this cannot be.

But a more resilient relative is quite capable of “hammering” a sissy with its growth, especially since one of the most common ways of propagating a rose is considered to be grafting on a stock (planting pedigreed buds on a wild rose or plants of the same genus - a dog rose, a canina rose). Taking rose hips as a basis, rose seedlings are of excellent quality.

The right haircut

How to distinguish a rose from a wild rose? Anyone who has bought an open-rooted seedling has probably noticed a thickening with shoots above the roots. This is what a vaccine looks like. To get the desired result in the form of a blooming rose bush, the vulnerable spot during planting is buried in the soil by 8-10 cm, if necessary, additionally sprinkled with earth, covering material is used.

In the spring, the upper part is cut to zero, but the green mass grows rapidly in summer, the bush blooms magnificently. Important rule: spring pruning must be done very carefully, timely removing root growth wild rose. Often the "strong man" sprouts far from the rose: such shoots must be constantly eliminated.

In order to “check” correctly, you need to know exactly which shoots and leaves are to be removed, that is, to understand how to distinguish a rose from a wild rose by leaves. It is believed that the young leaves of many roses are colored reddish. The growth of the rootstock (rosehip) is green, the leaves are small, there are more than 5 of them on one branch.

Although an overgrown scion has the same number of leaves, the external difference is still visible. Rosehip is cut close to the root. If pruning is regular and timely, there will be no “transformations”! Look at these roses (photo below). How beautiful they are!

Thorns and roses

Let's fix the topic. When buying seedlings, focus on the color of the "fresh" shoots and buds.

Dark red? Are the spines thick, sharp, rarely located? This is a rose. Later, the vegetative organs will become green, hard (stiff).

Shoots and buds pale green, thorns in a small scattering? This is a rosehip.

So, we figured out how to distinguish a rose seedling from a wild rose. It's time to talk about flowers. Rose in her prime looks gorgeous. Flowers with many petals, large. Somewhere in their depths, the core “hidden”, which can be seen only after the rosette “falls off”. The color of the beauties is very different - scarlet, pink, tea, white, etc.

Rosehip cannot compete with a rose in the number of petals on a flower - there are only five of them. Although many have seen cultivated species of this plant, dotted with lush fragrant "hats", cute, but small. Wild rosehip has a delicate pink color. Garden can be white, cyclamen (hot pink), yellow. The heart of rosehip flowers is clearly visible.

Care for climbing roses

In the course of crossing (for example, with hybrid tea roses), varieties with shoots 4 meters long ("climbing roses") were obtained. They bloom more abundantly than ordinary climbing roses. These flowers love sunny places with good ventilation (ventilation).

It is better to install supports for "lovers of climbing higher and higher" in the southwestern and southern exposures. In the south, growth matures faster. The first year of cultivation is rather difficult, but then care becomes easier: it is enough to occasionally water, cut, feed. To stimulate flowering, faded branches are pruned.

How to distinguish a rose from a wild rose? When you admire the “winding fairy tale”, the question seems rhetorical: it is clear that it cannot be confused with a simple and unsightly (albeit useful) ancestor.

To prevent roses from dying in winter, they must be prepared in advance for the "minus" period. Already in the last month of summer, it is not necessary to loosen the soil under them, water them. But you can’t cover early - in the “greenhouse” the flowers sprout and rot. When dry weather sets in with a temperature of minus six degrees, it's time to hide climbing roses.

Knowledge frees from mistakes

Many have heard that there are also park roses. At the same time, some gardeners believe that they do not appear in the garden classification. However, flowers are widespread. In fact, these are cold-resistant dog roses.

For a front flower bed, they are, of course, unnecessarily modest, but they perfectly decorate garden corners. The park roses in Russia include wild rose varieties that are resistant to winter cold. So it’s not worth giving up robustness when choosing seedlings.

When thinking about how to distinguish a rose from a wild rose, or choosing varieties of roses for your garden, remember: knowledge of special rules, conscientious care of plants will relieve you of responsibility for neglected greenhouses, dead seedlings, and degeneration of varieties. Before planting a tender sprout in your home, decide: can you take care of it with knowledge of the matter, diligently and attentively? Then the success of your floricultural enterprise is guaranteed.

General information why the rose was reborn into a wild rose

Initially, you need to distinguish them from each other. Firstly, it is necessary to clarify whether the rose seedling is grafted onto a wild rose or whether it is own-rooted. A grafted seedling in the lower part of the stem must have a thickening - the place of grafting. The stem below the thickening may vary in color. Own-rooted roses have no place to graft.

Important! In order not to become a victim of fraud by unscrupulous sellers, own-rooted roses should be bought only in trusted nurseries or with buds.

With timely removal, it is possible to avoid the flourishing of a delicate rose. Indeed, in this embodiment, you will have to completely cut off the bush. When growing rose hips, you should choose the right approach in advance to avoid unnecessary problems. Since the graft is usually underground. Therefore, wild rose shoots begin to grow from under the ground. They should be removed as soon as they grow.

Many, of course, do not know about this and often wonder how to carefully cut a rose so that it does not become a wild rose. Initially, you should dig out the soil where the ornamental culture grows to the very place of inoculation and, accordingly, carefully cut the shoot to the very base.

What to do if a rose turns into a wild rose

How to distinguish a rose from a wild rose

Many people are concerned about the difference between a decorative rose and a wild rose. As a rule, there are 4 differences that will make it possible to distinguish rose hips from rose hips: Young shoots of a rose are dark red, gradually they turn green and become woody. At the wild rose, on the contrary, young shoots of a bright green hue appear. There are three or five leaves on a leaf branch of a rose. There are seven leaves on a rosehip branch. The leaves of the rose are quite large, smooth, shiny, dark green in color. Rosehip leaves are lighter, smaller, have a pronounced structure and do not shine. The thorns of pink shoots are large and rarely located on the stem.

Note! Almost every rosehip shoot is covered with small short thorns. There are such varieties of ornamental culture with the presence of small flowers, which consist of seven petals. Each branch contains small thorns.

Decorative flowers are difficult to distinguish from each other. When the shoot matures, then it is easy to recognize, because the color of the roses turns brown. However, the shade of flowers depends on the plant varieties. Therefore, initially you need to find out what kind of ornamental crop the grower is planting.

Where the temperate and cold zone, the wild rose begins to bloom at the end of May. However, the subtropical evergreen savage can appear at any time of the year. The fruits differ in that they are really fleshy and juicy. Inside the rose hips are bristly villi, which, as it were, wrap up hard nut fruits.

Important! All rose lovers are familiar with this problem. Therefore, the difference between roses and wild roses comes with experience. For example, rosehip, despite the external similarity, can be distinguished due to the flowering of the fruit, which is very rich in vitamin C. According to this indicator, it even surpasses citrus fruits. Only a professional florist can recognize these features.

Why does the rose go into the wild rose

A rose is primarily a cultural form of a plant belonging to the rosehip genus and the rose family. It is not so easy to confuse a decorative rose with a wild rose. The rose has more flowers big size, as well as large petals. For example, wild rose hips usually grow with a pink coloration, while garden forms may have white or bright pink, cyclamen flowers. It should be noted that the rosehip produces a small, round fruit, it can be freely used in food.

As a rule, a cultivated rose is turned and grown on a rootstock, which is used as a wild rose or canina rose. Some growers prefer to plant roses and then grow them from their own roots.

Note! With the rebirth of decorative culture, it is necessary to pay special attention to technology. Sometimes it happens that the florist chooses the wrong method. As a result, damage to the fetus occurs or the flower turns into a wild rose. In addition, you should pay attention to the process of pruning roses. An incorrectly performed procedure can cause the flower to degenerate into a wild rose.

Many people often wonder how to distinguish a rose from a wild rose. Rose leaves are usually dark green in color. As a rule, the petals are hard and leathery, with a glossy finish and a rounded tip. In rose hips, the opposite is true, the petals are small and rough, giving off a light green or gray-green tint. Their matte leaves with a pointed tip are difficult to confuse with other plants. In addition, you need to pay attention to the spikes of decorative culture. They are rare and large. Given all these features, you can easily distinguish plants from each other.

The shoots of this variety are densely thorny.

What do flower growers think?

Some flower growers argue that the difference between an ornamental culture and a wild rose is carried out by the number of leaves. But in fact, the process is much more complicated when you need to study climbing roses. They, in turn, have seven leaves. After identifying the plant in a timely manner, you can find a way to deal with the rebirth of a rose.

Many people immediately panic and do not know what to do if a decorative rose has grown into a wild rose. Initially, you need to carry out a number of wellness procedures:

excavate the soil, get the root system,
timely determine the place of the scion of the rose on the rootstock,
carefully cut the wild shoot,
take iodine and spread it on all the fragments and trimmings of the plant.

Important! This procedure is carried out at least twice during the growing season. If suddenly a wild shoot begins to grow again, then you need to redo the above steps. You can try planting the plant so that the grafting site is about 8-10 cm deep.

Sometimes they can grow shoots in large numbers. Because of this, the process of cultivation becomes much more complicated. In this case, you need to go to your own roots. That is, the grower must begin to remove the rootstock.

How to understand that a rose is reborn into a wild rose

Rosehip can be a rootstock for a wide variety of rose varieties. There is a variety: standard, tea, climbing, etc. The grafting process is very simple. To do this, you do not need to choose a variety of ornamental crops. You will have to take a small cutting with a couple of buds and plant it on a young and healthy rosehip bush. If the vaccine takes root easily and quickly, you can cut off the rosehip shoot. This process can cause the reverse development of the plant. Why does a rose turn into a wild rose, what to do in this case, the advice of an experienced grower will help. Instead of a rose, a wild rose can grow only in the following case:

If the wrong purchase of a seedling was made, then we can expect the degeneration of an ornamental culture into a wild rose. Therefore, you need to choose a seedling very carefully. Since over time, wild shoots will appear, and in the future the seedling will die.

Poor quality seedlings

If a rose has been reborn into a wild rose and the florist does not know how to remedy the situation, you need to study agricultural technologies. Having studied the features of protection of the place of vaccination against various adverse factors, you can help the plant bloom in the future without any problems.

Note! Ornamental culture is characterized by low resistance to adverse weather conditions. At high humidity, low temperature and disease, other cultural signs begin to appear.

Not every person is born a professional florist. It is important to note that it is not so easy to identify the first signs and changes in a growing flower. It is only necessary to carefully monitor the process of their growth and perform the above actions.

Secret number 1 - pinch the shoot

Most flower growers plant roses in the spring, so their roots are stronger. In this case, the young shoot will begin to outgrow. It is during this period that you need to monitor their growth. If the shoot grows quickly, then you need to cut off the fourth leaf in time. After a while, you can understand that a new young bush is growing. Symmetrically developed shoots will already grow on this bush.

Note! Older rose bushes also need to be pinched, especially if they are weakened, lag behind in development, or simply have an ugly shape.

Secret number 2 - pruning is carried out

Summer pruning is very important for roses - with its help they get rid of weak, sick, improperly growing branches. "Blind" shoots are also removed - those on which there are no flowers shorten the shoots that thicken the bush. Remember that a dense bush is easier to infect diseases.

Faded flowers are regularly cut off - they give the bush an untidy look. The cut is made over the second or third leaf from the top (it should be a well-developed cinquefoil) to a well-developed bud looking outward, which can give a high-quality flower-bearing shoot. The cut is placed 0.5 - 0.8 cm above the kidney.

At the end of summer withered flowers stop deleting. If they are constantly removed, then this causes the growth of shoots, which is already undesirable in August. In single-blooming park roses, flowers are left, and by autumn they form decorative fruits.

Secret number 3 - wild shoots are removed

Grafted roses have a lower place. They are distinguished by smaller light foliage and a large number of thorns. Wild growth grows rapidly, weakens the plant and can lead to the death of the grafted part. As a result, instead of a grafted rose, your garden will be decorated with an ordinary wild rose bush.

You need to cut the growth as soon as it appears. The root neck is freed from the ground and the shoots are cut off at the base. If you cut at the level of the soil, then this only helps the growth of shoots, and instead of one bush will give several.

Important! In standard roses, wild growth is formed not only from the root, but also from the stem (trunk). Especially often, wild shoots appear in grafted polyanthus and miniature roses, less often in large shrub roses.

What to do if the rose has turned into a wild rose

First of all, it is necessary to pay special attention to the quality of the seedling. Choosing a plant in unfavorable places, you may encounter this problem, which worries many people. When choosing and inspecting a seedling, you need to look at the location of the vaccination site. In addition, you need to check the color of the stem. Important point- the shade of rose hips is always green, and the shade of roses is reddish.

Before making a purchase, it is necessary to study the color of the shoot and the features of the leaf plate. In addition, proper care will help prevent the appearance of changes. As a rule, the timely and correct implementation of all the necessary agricultural practices will avoid problems with the degeneration of a rose into a wild rose. Therefore, each grower must necessarily create favorable conditions for his plant. It is also necessary to avoid infection of plantings with pathogenic microflora and pests. By reducing the sustainability of the risk of change.

Grow beautiful rose in your area - not an easy task in climate conditions middle lane. Sharp frosts, temperature fluctuations, drought and rain, acidic, depleted soil are not the conditions to which the flower queen is adapted. While a distant relative of this whimsical beauty, rosehip, is very resistant to cold, frost and drought.

Note! Knowing these features, gardeners began to use the trick - to use powerful and strong rosehip roots for roses. Her bet on the bush is done so that she can take root and start growing.

Grafting the queen of flowers on the wild rose is a fairly simple process that copes with several stages:

The rose to be grafted must bloom and bud,
From the flowers it is necessary to cut the cuttings, each should have two buds, the thorns are cut off,
The roots of the shrub are carefully cleaned from the ground, if at least a small amount remains, the ground can fall on the bare part of the stem and the graft will not work,
An incision is made on the stem, a horizontal incision not less than two centimeters long,
An incision inserts a stem with a bud without bark,
The place where the kidney is inserted into the incision is fixed with a tape. The root with the grafted stem is placed in moist soil.

In conclusion, it should be noted that best time vaccinations - summer, in the rarest cases, a vaccination can be done in February. A grafted rose must be carefully looked after so that it takes root and begins to grow. The main two rules are abundant watering and thorough cleaning of the soil from weeds. A year later, when the seedlings become strong enough, they are dug up and transplanted to the place where it will continue to grow.

Exploring the differences

During the flowering of plants, answer the question: "How to distinguish a rose from a wild rose?" worth nothing, the difference is obvious. Just look at the flowers: roses have many petals, while rose hips have only five. In addition, the wild rose bears fruit, which cannot be said about the rose. Therefore, at the end of summer, the difference between a rose and a wild rose is obvious, the last plant is distinguished by red or orange bright berries.

But if, when planting, it becomes necessary to distinguish between the shoots of roses and wild roses? Let's name a few signs by which it becomes clear how to distinguish a rose from a wild rose by shoots.

4 differences between rose and wild rose shoots

The rose produces red shoots, which then turn green, in the wild rose, the young shoots are immediately green.
The rose has 3 - 5 leaves on a branch, the rosehip has 7 of them, the top one does not have a pair.
The color of the leaves of the rose is dark green, the leaves are hard, large and glossy, the wild rose has small, light green, matte leaves.
Thorns of roses are rare and large, rose hips are frequent and small. Sometimes the sepals and even rosehip leaves are covered with thorns.

If cultivated roses are grafted onto wild roses, then savage shoots often climb from the roots. This situation is unpleasant in that the dog rose draws all the food onto itself and weakens the culture. After all, its growth capacity is an order of magnitude higher. In this case, a layer of soil under the bush is raked to the depth of shoot growth, and the rosehip is cut flush with the root. Otherwise, on the cut, it will begin to branch, instead of one, it will release many shoots.

More about rose hips

In temperate and cold zones, wild roses, which we call wild roses, usually bloom for a short time - in May-June. And subtropical evergreen savages bloom almost continuously. Our species give fruits in August-September. They are very meaty and juicy. Inside the rose hips are bristly villi, which, as it were, wrap up hard nut fruits.

Rosehips in free growth grow most often in large bushes, up to 2 m tall. Branches erect, slightly drooping. There are creeping species, the branches of which can cling to the trunks of trees and neighboring plants. So their shoots rise high enough.

There are bushes in the form of pillows, then the growth of their bushes is low, dense. During flowering they are very decorative. The flowers are distinguished by numerous stamens and pistils, the petals can be white, yellow, pink, red and crimson.

Cultivated wild roses are called park roses in international botanical terminology. They are actively used in landscaping, they have a very successful landscape, close to nature, appearance. One of the elegant wild roses is a wrinkled rose, or rugosa rose (Rosa rugosa), and hybrids created on its basis (Hybrid Rugosa).

It is recognizable by its wrinkled leaves and styloid dense straight bristles and spines along the shoots. Her smell is pleasant, fragrant, but weakly expressed. The flowers are non-double, flowering continues all summer. Bushes are very durable and unpretentious. They do well in borders and hedges, and can also be planted singly or in groups. The main advantage for our latitudes is frost resistance in winter period. In winter, they can be left without any shelters.

A little about roses

Watching roses, which are universally popular, one may not notice that in recent years a lot has changed, and the accumulated changes are already beginning to actively put in order, classify. Separated into special groups are patio roses, ground covers. Climbing miniatures appeared, which have unusual small flowers and crumble leaves.

Many articles have been written about new varieties, we will talk a little about flower shapes. According to the shape of the flowers, roses are divided into 9 main types:

With a cone-shaped center - classically shaped buds, characteristic of hybrid tea varieties, in which the petals are folded into a cone.
Peony-shaped, or spherical shape - numerous petals are concave inward, cover the center of the flower.
Form with a loose center - loosely closed petals form a core of indefinite outlines.
Collapsing form - at the end of flowering, the flower initially correct form loosens, the petals seem to fall out, exposing the stamens.
Cupped shape - numerous rose petals form a cup, the center of the flower is not covered.
Square shape - the inner petals create, as it were, four sectors located radially outward of the flower.
Pompom shape - numerous short petals form a rounded, almost spherical outline of the flower.
Flat shape - a flower with numerous petals, slightly concave towards the middle of the flower.
Rosette-shaped - the whole flower seems to flow down to the middle, concavity is noted, but its very shape is flat with numerous short petals.

Studying the differences between wild rose and rose, four main differences in shoots were identified. Given short description wild roses, their decorative qualities for the garden are given. In the description of varietal roses, their modern classification is given according to differences in the shape of flowers. Roses and wild roses are very interesting crops for home gardening, it is always a pleasure to watch them grow and bloom.

Description of the Rose family

Since both cultures belong to the same Rosaceae family, roses are often considered a cultivated form of wild roses. Although both plants are similar in appearance, but if the wild rose is used in landscaping parks and garden areas, then the rose is the recognized queen of flowers.

Roses were the result of selection by scientists from around the world. Today, many varieties are known that may differ in the structure of inflorescences and the color of the petals. This was achieved by applying the successful method of multiple crossing. Some of the species of this plant are forms of wild rose hips.
Inexperienced flower growers confuse these two plants because they have an external as well as genetic similarity. But, for example, after the flowering of wild roses, it is possible to obtain fruits that contain a lot of vitamin C.

Flower shape and size

It is possible to distinguish one plant from another by the shape, and also by the size of the flowers. Rose hips always have no more than 5 petals, while roses have much more. There are also terry varieties of wild roses, which have small flowers with a pronounced core.

What distinguishes a rose from a wild rose, in addition to the first sign, is the presence of fruits. Usually they form in place of flowers and are endowed with a rich red-orange color. This happens in late summer and autumn. The fruits are usually oval or round shape. They have seeds inside.

The fruits of wild varieties have a dark red color, in cultivated varieties, the color varies from orange to blue-black. At the same time, pink petals simply fall off at the end of flowering, without forming berries.

The shoots of roses are red at first, and become green a little later, in the process of active growth. In the second plant, the shoots are immediately painted in standard green.

It is still realistic to distinguish a rose from a wild rose by the leaves. On a wild rose branch, there are usually up to 7 leaves, while on a rosette they grow no more than 3-5 pieces. If the foliage of the first plant is small, of a light shade and with a non-shiny surface, then of the second it is solid and painted in dark green.

In addition to the leaf, both cultures are also different in the number of thorns. If in roses they are large in size and located far from each other, then the representative of wild roses is everywhere. This becomes a problem for the gardener when collecting beautiful and useful berries. There are even thorns on the surface of the foliage.
It is important to understand which seedling of which plant you are purchasing. It is necessary to ask whether it is own-rooted or grafted. If a rosehip variety was vaccinated, the seedling will have a characteristic thickening.

How to distinguish by the type of leaves

The leaves of the rose have a very dark glossy color and are quite large. In rose hips, they are small, more delicate and matte. Also, the leaves of this plant have a pale green light color.

What to do if the rose turned into a dog rose

You can use this method only for winter-hardy varieties of the "Queen of Flowers". A bush grown in this way will reach full decorativeness for 4-5 years.

Many, especially inexperienced gardeners, complain that an ornamental rose bush turns into a wild rose bush in a year or two. This situation can be avoided if you know the differences between rose and wild rose.

During flowering

In fact, the Rose and is a wild rose, only cultivated. It's pretty easy to tell them apart. There are, of course, exceptions, but for beginner gardeners they are rather informative. During the flowering period, it is very easy to distinguish an ornamental plant from a wild one.

The first in a flower, as a rule, has a lot of petals, and the second has only five. Also, when looking at a rose, it is rare to see its middle. There are varieties where it is open on purpose, but they still have a lot of petals. Rose hips have a yellow center always in sight. Rose bush flowers have a huge number of shades of flowers - from white to almost black. Rosehip flowers are only white, pink or bright pink. But there are examples of the opposite.

And such differences are known only to experienced gardeners. To distinguish a wild plant from a noble one, it is enough to look at the differences in the complex.

By escape

The queen of flowers from the wild rose is very easy to distinguish by shoots. In a noble plant, they are red-burgundy in color, which can later turn green. And in a wild representative of the family at a young and mature age, they are always invariably green. Experienced lovers of the queen of flowers say that some scrubs and climbing representatives of the pink species also have green shoots. Then you need to look at the flower and the leaf.
A rose can be distinguished from a wild rose both by shoots and leaves. The leaves of both representatives of the Rosaceae family are different, as are their different numbers on a complex leaf. Rose hips always have seven leaves on a branch.

A rose should normally have from three to five. But even here there are exceptions to the rule. In new varieties of ornamental crops, the number of leaves of more than five indicates their good winter hardiness, so there may be varieties that have seven or more leaves in a complex leaf. Also, more than five leaves occur in climbing varieties.

Therefore, further, in order to figure it out, you need to see what kind of leaves the rose has. They are larger in size and rich green in color, dark, sometimes even with a burgundy tint, as if glossy. And in the wild representative of the species, they are small, sometimes with small spikes, in color they are bright green and more matte than glossy.
The two plants also differ in thorns. In the rose bush they are large, rare, and in the wild rose they are small and frequent.

Correct rosehip pruning (how not to turn a rose into a rosehip)

The differences are clear, but why do roses turn into wild roses, how to avoid this, and what to do? To answer these questions, let's figure out how a decorative representative of the species gets into our garden. The plant can be with its own root system, or it can be grafted onto the so-called "rootstock". The latter case is more common, because with such a grafting, rose bushes are more resistant to soils, pests, and changing climatic conditions. And all because the stock is a wild representative of the species. That is, very often a pink seedling has a root and a basal part from a wild rose and only an upper shoot from a decorative rose. If you take a closer look at the seedling, then at the bottom it has a thickening, from which shoots extend. In the place of thickening, cuttings of a cultivated species are grafted onto a wild plant. A rose with its root system does not have this.
If suddenly you notice that shoots grow from the root of a rose bush that have a bright green color, you need to get rid of them. These are the shoots of the wild parent, which are usually below the graft. They must not only be cut at ground level, but removed from the root system. To do this, you need to carefully dig the ground around the plant and remove everything that is below the grafting site. As a rule, this will be the growth of wild rose. Anything above the inoculation should not be touched. These are new rose shoots.

There are times when you can see wild shoots a meter from a rose bush. They also need to be removed. They take strength from the main plant, it grows and blooms worse.

The rose has turned into a wild rose: what to do

The rose completely transforms into a wild parent if the graft is dead. This is the part of the plant that is above the graft. In this case, shoots begin to grow actively from the rosehip buds. This is especially true for young plants that do not tolerate winter well. If this happens, you can transplant the bush outside the site.

There are cases when the decorative part did not die completely, that is, its processes still remained in the bush. You can try to save the plant. All rosehip shoots are pruned, and annuals are used as rootstock for roses. On their bark, you need to make an incision, place a kidney from a rose there and wrap it up. After a couple of weeks, the bud will take root, and next year a noble shoot will grow out of it. Usually such a procedure is done at the end of summer and it makes it possible to save an ornamental plant.

Experienced gardeners say that in most cases, an ornamental plant is reborn into a wild one due to inept care. If you follow all the recommendations described above, this can be avoided. With proper care, beautiful decorative rose bushes will not upset you, but will delight you with beauty and aroma for a long time.

Differences between plants of the rose family

The rose, like its close relative, belongs to the Rosaceae family. This fact explains why these two different plants are difficult to distinguish from each other, especially at the seedling stage.

one family;
some varieties of roses are considered a cultivated wild plant.

To distinguish a rose from its close relative, you need to know what to look for when buying a seedling for growing in the garden.

The main differences between rose and wild rose

the rose has more decorative and beautiful flowers. Its flowers are characterized by a larger number of petals. Rosehip has five petals as standard;
the fruit-forming relative blooms in small flowers, which may have a slight doubleness. However, in these parameters they are significantly inferior to the rose. Its flowers have a pronounced core;
after flowering, rose hips form oval/round fruits. The fruits contain seeds inside. Wild varieties produce red fruits, while cultivated varieties are blue-black or orange. But roses (any variety) do not form fruits at all. After flowering, the petals from the bushes simply crumble;
plants differ in the color of the petals. Rose hips are characterized by a light pink color. But roses can bloom in inflorescences of various colors: white, red, orange, pink, etc.

It should be noted that own-rooted varieties of roses are not grafted. In this case, you need to rely on other parameters in which the rose differs.

Leaves

Rosehip leaves are rough and dull. They usually have a light olive color. The leaf plate has a pointed tip. Edges may be uneven. Sometimes the leaves are characterized by pubescence and thorns.

shoots

The rose has young shoots of dark red color. Over time, they turn green and woody. But the shoots of the analogue are always bright green. They also form thinner.

Already on the basis of the differences between the leaves and shoots, you can determine which particular seedling they are trying to sell you.

Prickly bushes, impassable thickets, autumn forest, a storehouse of vitamins - the first associations with the word "wild rose". Do you know how rosehip differs from rose? In the botanical sense, nothing, because the wild rose is a rose and is.

A bit of theory

Rosehip genus (Rosa)- a huge taxonomic group, uniting, according to various estimates, from 300 to 500 species and several tens of thousands of garden forms. Traditionally, the word "rose" denotes numerous "cultivated" forms of wild rose, mostly terry, formed as a result of selection work. The word "rose hip" is used for non-double species and varieties of roses that are wild or introduced into cultivation, but have not undergone profound changes as a result of selection. On the territory of Russia in natural conditions there are several dozen representatives of the genus. All wild roses common in Siberia are low shrubs, many times branched, with thorny shoots. Rose hips are inedible and indigestible - large nuts ("seeds"), lying under a thin layer of useful pulp, are equipped with a hard peel with prickly outgrowths to the delight of anyone who decides to eat them. For this reason, it is not a good idea for a person to use fresh fruits for food. Nevertheless, there are few plants in the local flora that are comparable in their usefulness to wild rose. In this article I will talk about the four types of wild rose, the most common and common in Western Siberia, both in natural conditions and in cultivation, as well as the cultivation of wild rose, the collection and drying of its fruits.

A small digression: in fact, rosehip "berries" are not berries. Representatives of the genus have a combined fruit, which is a collection of individual fruits under a common fleshy shell, its correct name is a polynutlet. Accordingly, rosehip "seeds" are not actually seeds. Each "seed" is a fruit - a nut.

Rosehip May (Rosa majalis)

Other names - rosehip cinnamon, rose cinnamon, May rose. This type of rosehip is one of the most common. Its natural range covers Europe and the European part of Russia, Western and Eastern Siberia, the northern regions of Kazakhstan and Mongolia. May rosehip is a common type of forest glades and edges, where it grows in single specimens or forms impenetrable thickets. But it is drought-resistant, can grow in open dry places, on poor soils, in conditions of intense lighting, feels great in cultivation conditions. May rose is a plant with high variability, representatives of the species may differ from each other in the height of an adult plant (from less than a meter to 2-3 m), flower size (3-5 cm), petal color (light or dark pink, white-flowered shape), color and shape of fruits (red or orange, round or elongated). Like other representatives of the genus, the leaves of the May rose are compound, unpaired-pinnate (an unpaired leaf at the top of a compound leaf), consisting of 5-9 small, bare or pubescent leaves.

As the name suggests, rose hips bloom in late spring. Depending on the weather, the timing of flowering may be shifted to the beginning of summer. Flowers develop at the tops of the shoots, usually solitary, but can be collected in an inflorescence of several pieces (less than 10). Fruit ripening dates - August-September, the shape and color of mature fruits varies from round to elongated and from light orange to bright red, size - up to 2 cm. Sepals are preserved on mature fruits.

May rose hips are harvested and used in industrial quantities, they can be bought dry at a pharmacy, decoctions, syrups and alcohol tinctures are made from them. This species is considered one of the most important vitamin plants in the temperate flora of the Northern Hemisphere. The May rose is cultivated as an ornamental plant and is actively used in breeding work. Based on this species, many garden forms of roses have been bred. Rose hips are also widely used as a stock for non-hardy varieties of garden roses.

Rose hips (Rosa acicularis)

The second common type of wild rose in our region. Its natural range is located in the temperate zone of Eurasia and North America, and this species is described from Siberia.

Spiny rose is a shrub up to 2 m tall with drooping or erect shoots. This species has a wide ecological range, its representatives can be found from the steppes to the arctic tundra and the subalpine belt in the mountains. In Western Siberia, wild rose is common under the canopy of coniferous, deciduous and mixed forests, in forest clearings and edges, in meadows and along river banks. Most often grows as single shrubs or in small groups, but can form continuous thickets. The needle rose blooms in June-July, its large (up to 6 cm in diameter) dark pink flowers are located on the tops of the shoots one or two or three. The fruits of the wild rose are bright red, oval, drooping, with a constriction at the top. The length of the fruit is about 2 cm (up to 3), sepals are preserved on mature fruits. Wild rose, like the previous species, is widely used as a vitamin plant and cultivated as an ornamental.

Rosehip wrinkled (Rosa rugosa)

You have seen representatives of this species many times, this is the most popular type of wild rose in urban landscaping, in the cities of Siberia (and not only) it can be found in almost every flower bed and certainly in every park. The wrinkled rose is often used for hedges - it is unpretentious, frost-resistant, grows quickly and tolerates a haircut, blooms long and profusely, and thickly covered with thorns shoots make even the thought of overcoming this obstacle unpleasant. Under natural conditions, the wrinkled rose often forms dense impenetrable thickets.

This species is described from Japan, on the territory of Russia it occurs naturally in the Far East, where it grows on the seashore, in coastal tundra and along the banks of rivers flowing into the Sea of Japan. The wrinkled rose has long been cultivated as mainly an ornamental (and to a lesser extent as a vitamin) plant, several garden forms have been bred. Rose wrinkled well naturalized, found as a weed in wastelands, landfills, along roads and other anthropogenic (man-made) habitats. As an invasive species, the wrinkled rose has spread throughout Eurasia, North America, Australia and New Zealand.

This type of wild rose is polymorphic, its variability is well expressed, and even within the same population, representatives of the species differ in the height of the bush, the size and shape of the vegetative organs and flowers, the color of the corolla and mature berries. In addition, wrinkled rose easily forms hybrids with other types of wild rose, not only in cultivation, but also in nature. However, it is easy to recognize it and distinguish it from other common types of wild rose - by the "wrinkled" leaves. The leaves are shiny, dark green above, densely covered with small wrinkles, and below are white, densely pubescent, with white, sharply protruding veins. The flowers of the wrinkled wild rose are solitary or collected several at the tops of the shoots, large (up to 10-13 cm), light or bright pink (to red), usually semi-double, white-flowered and double forms are also known. Under natural conditions, the flowering period falls on the beginning and middle of summer, but under the conditions of introduction, the wrinkled rose is usually remontant, blooms again in the second half of summer and autumn. The second distinguishing feature of wrinkled rose hips is the shape of the fruit. Unlike other common types of wild rose, its fruits are not oblong, but like a ball flattened from the poles. The color of mature fruits is from light orange to bright red, the sepals on mature fruits are preserved.

Dog rosehip (Rosa canina)

In Siberia, this type of wild rose can be found under cultivation conditions, it is widely used as an ornamental plant both by itself and as a rootstock for non-hardy varietal roses. In addition, dog rose is well naturalized and is found as a weed in wastelands and along roadsides. The natural range of dog roses is Europe (from where this species is described), the European part of Russia, the Caucasus, North Africa, Western Asia.

Dog rosehip is a tall (up to 2.5 m) shrub, with arched drooping branches covered with large rare thorns. Flowering time - the beginning of summer, flowers up to 8 cm in diameter, located on the tops of the shoots, can be single, but most often collected in an inflorescence of several pieces (up to twenty). The color of the flowers varies from light to bright pink, there are flowers and white. Unlike other common types of rose hips, dog rose flowers do not smell. The second distinctive feature is that the petals are shorter than the sepals, and the sepals themselves fall off long before the fruit ripens, and they are no longer on mature fruits. Fruits are orange-red, smooth, glossy, oblong, up to 2.5 cm long. Unlike the previous three types of rose hips, dog rose hips are not of particular value as a source of vitamins, but are widely used as a choleretic agent.

What are the benefits of rose hips

Rosehip is one of the most famous vitamin plants in temperate climates. The largest amount of biologically active substances accumulates in fruits. The pulp of the assembled fruit contains such a variety of compounds that it is easier to list what it does not contain. Rose hips contain most of the vitamins necessary for the body (rose hips are especially rich in vitamins C, P, K), flavonoids, pectins, carotenoids, tannins, microelements, sugars, organic acids, essential oils. Rosehip nuts are rich in oils and vitamin E.

Biologically active compounds of wild rose stimulate non-specific immunity, help the body resist seasonal colds. In addition, rosehip products and drinks improve carbohydrate and mineral metabolism, restore (regenerate) cells and tissues, have a choleretic, anti-inflammatory and hemostatic effect. As part of complex therapy, rose hips are used for colds, anemia, diseases of the digestive and respiratory systems, in the treatment of diseases of the pelvic organs, in atherosclerosis, to accelerate recovery processes in injuries, in bleeding, in the treatment of poorly healing wounds.

Harvesting and drying

The right time to collect rose hips is the end of August-September, when the "berries" are fully ripe and have managed to accumulate the maximum amount of biologically active substances. You can collect fruits in October, before the start of frost, and it is better to do this in dry and sunny weather. Firstly, it is much more pleasant than in the rain in the cold, and secondly, it will facilitate the subsequent drying of the fruit. The fruits are harvested together with the stalk, the sepals are also not cut off during collection. If these parts are removed immediately, when harvesting fruits, the soft shell of the harvested fruit is damaged, and the risk of bringing not "berries", but puree with seeds to the place of processing increases. And, of course, it is not necessary to collect fruits with signs of insect damage, rotten and blackened. Before drying, the fruits are not washed, this can be done immediately before using the already dried ones. It is best to dry rose hips in a natural way in a dry, well-ventilated area, scattering a thin layer on accessible horizontal surfaces and stirring occasionally to dry evenly. It is believed that it is with this method of drying that all useful substances in the initial concentration are preserved in rose hips. Thermal drying is the best way if you do not have a suitable room for natural drying or the weather is not good. It is most convenient to dry rose hips with a dryer, since they are available in any hardware store and are relatively inexpensive. But you can also use the oven. Spread on a baking sheet in one layer and dry in the oven at 60°C, stirring occasionally to dry evenly. The door should be left ajar to speed up the process.

After complete drying, the sepals and stalks are removed from the rose hips - it is convenient to do this manually, with rubbing movements. After that, dry fruits can be stored and used to make decoctions and vitamin drinks. For the preparation of syrup, alcohol tinctures, jam, jelly and compote, it is not necessary to dry the fruits, you can use fresh ones.

How to grow wild rose

Among the representatives of the genus there are rare and protected species, but most common wild roses are not rare plants, and you can harvest berries in nature. Only for this you need to know the places of mass growth of wild rose. In our forests, wild rose most often grows sparsely, it is found in single bushes growing quite far from each other, and its productivity is not always encouraging. In a typical case, in order to collect a bucket, you need to be plenty in the forest, and picking a lot of "berries" quickly and almost in one place is a rare success. Therefore, for a stable annual harvest, rose hips are easier to grow in the country.

Most species and garden forms of wild rose are unpretentious and do not require any special care or a particularly good place in the garden. These plants can literally live "where they stuck", the main thing is not in conditions of regular excessive moisture and not completely in the shade. Because the rosehip is a large, thorny shrub that often forms rootstock and spreads well as a weed, the best place for it in the garden is where it won't get in the way. Optimal time for planting wild rose, periods outside of active growth are considered - spring (before bud break) and the beginning of autumn. If you plant a wild rose not only to admire its magnificent flowering, but in terms of the harvest, you should not be limited to a single bush, it is better to plant at least two nearby. Rose hips require cross-pollination to produce fruit. A wild rose is pollinated by insects and, in principle, pollinators can bring pollen from a neighboring bush or from somewhere far away. Therefore, if you have only one bush on your site, an annual fruit harvest is likely, but not guaranteed. Rose hips are cut annually, they do it in the spring, before buds open (or as soon as they begin to bloom), dry and damaged shoots are cut out. Formative pruning is optional, the rosehip itself branches well, but if you want, you can - the rosehip tolerates it well. When forming a bush or hedge, perennial shoots are shortened to half a meter, and biennial shoots are cut off, leaving 3-4 knots. Rosehip grows well and yields even on poor soils, and in cultivation conditions, additional watering and top dressing are optional. But it is possible to feed it with humus or mineral fertilizers for better development and abundant flowering.

Rosehip breeds to cuttings, seeds and root suckers. Root offspring, of course, are the easiest to propagate. These are ready-made seedlings with a well-developed root system, you can simply dig them up and plant them in another place. But not all types and garden forms of wild rose are equally willing to form numerous offspring. For some (especially the most beautiful specimens, unfortunately), the “baby” has to wait quite a long time or not wait at all. In this case, a good method of propagation is cuttings. Cuttings are harvested in spring or mid-summer (before or after flowering), they are formed from well-developed, intact shoots, but often a cutting is simply the result of planned pruning. Fragments of lignified (at least last year's) shoots with two or three nodes are suitable for rooting. Part of the leaves must be removed, leaving only one or two, but also partially cut them off. This is necessary to prevent moisture loss and increase the chances of rooting. Cuttings are rooted in water, in a wet peat-sand mixture, or simply in open ground (if the summer is not very hot). You can use growth and root stimulants.

Another way to propagate rose hips is by seeds (more precisely, nut fruits that form under the fleshy shell of the prefabricated fruit). Rosehip "seeds" have a very strong shell, and by themselves they do not germinate, they require stratification. Stratification is the placement of seed material in special conditions so that the hard shell of the seed (or fruit, as in this case) is partially destroyed, and the embryo can germinate. This is required by many plants (not only rose hips), stratification can be chemical (for example, through the intestines of birds and animals), mechanical or cold stratification. Rose hips require cold stratification, which can be natural (just sow in the fall) or artificial (keep a couple of months in wet sand at temperatures around freezing). In many sources, I came across information that unripe fruits can also germinate in wild rose - stratification is not needed if you remove nuts from an unripe prefabricated fruit until they have formed a strong shell. But how reliable this information is, I can’t say, I haven’t tested it in practice. If one of the readers checked, please write in the comments what happened.

Rose hips are sown in open ground, in grooves up to 2 cm deep, mulched with sawdust and humus. Seedlings dive after the first leaves (two or three) have formed, they are transplanted to a permanent place in the second year, rose hips usually bloom in the third year of life.
