Rose
Family:
Rosaceae |
Latin Name:
Rosa centifolia, Rosa canina |
Description
Woody shrub whose shoots bear thorny, alternate, unpaired pinnatisect leaves and flowers in terminal corymbs with a swollen receptacle that produces the false fruit, which contains the true fruits.
Common Uses
The hips are high in vitamins C, A, B, E, and K. They also contain high levels of antioxidant flavonoids, known to have anti-inflammatory effects. They are useful in fighting influenza-like infections, also relieving sore throat, runny nose, and blocked bronchial tubes. Infusions of hips or petals strengthen the lungs and can be useful for those who tend to have chest problems.
History
That the plant is able to survive in the most arid conditions accounts for its being possibly the oldest plant known to man still in cultivation. Four states in the U.S. regard the rose as their state flower. For early Christians, the rose was a symbol of the Virgin Mary. The first rosaries were strung with beads made from ground rose-petal paste and rose bead necklaces are still popular.
