Rosa rugosa is a suckering shrub which develops new plants from the roots and forms dense thickets 1–1.50 m tall with stems densely covered in numerous short, straight prickles 3–10 mm long. The leaves are 8–15 cm long, pinnate with 5–9 leaflets, most often 7, each leaflet 3–4 cm long, with a distinctly corrugated (rugose, hence the species' name) surface. The flowers are pleasantly scented, dark pink to white, 6–9 cm across, with somewhat wrinkled petals; flowering occurs in spring.[1]

Rugosa rose hips resemble tomatoes
The hips are large, 2–3 cm diameter, and often shorter than their diameter, not elongated; in late summer and early autumn the plants often bear fruit and flowers at the same time. The leaves typically turn bright yellow before falling in autumn.[citation needed]
Rosa eglanterina
Nota:
La rosa mosqueta o simplemente mosqueta (Rosa eglanteria; sinónimo Rosa rubiginosa) es un arbusto silvestre de la familiade las rosáceas. Es una planta nativa de Europa, donde se cultiva sobre todo en el Reino Unido por su bella flor de color rosa pálido, pero que también se encuentra en estado silvestre en las estribaciones de la región sur de la Cordillera de los Andes, tanto en Chile como en Argentina, y en el piedemonte mendocino. Su fruto, conocido como escaramujo, se utiliza para la confección de dulces y mermeladas y para hacer infusiones. El aceite extraído de sus semillas se aprovecha en cosmética.
Rosa gallica
Rosa canina
Rosa damascena
Nota:
Rosa × damascena, more commonly known as the Damask rose, or sometimes as the Rose of Castile, is a rose hybrid, derived fromRosa gallica and Rosa moschata.[1] Further DNA analysis has shown that a third species, Rosa fedtschenkoana, is associated with the Damask rose.[2]
The flowers are renowned for their fine fragrance, and are commercially harvested for rose oil (either "rose otto" or "rose absolute") used in perfumery and to make rose water and "rose concrete". The flower petals are also edible. They may be used to flavor food, as a garnish, as an herbal tea, and preserved in sugar as gulkand.
