RESOURCE AND PHYTOCHEMICAL RESEARCHES OF ROSA L. IN INGUSHETIA

Abstract

The investigation of medical flora of Ingushetia
has been carried out since 2007; as the result
of this research it has been established that 15 kinds
of Rosa L. plant grow on the explored area. Larger
Rosa thickets are formed by R. canina L., R. corymbifera
Borkh. and R. spinosissima L. (R. pimpinellifolia
L.) which are a promising source for commercial procurement.
It has been established that the content of
vitamin C, carotin and tannin in rose hips varies depending
on the height of growth.
