Comment/Acknowledgements: Widely used as stock for cultivated roses, fruits are rich in vitamin C (Mabberley, Plant–Book: 621. 2000). Traditionally used for many gastrointestinal problems, presently only as a flavouring agent for teas. Seeds are diuretic and used for disorders of urinary tract (B.-E. van Wyk & Wink, Med. Plants World: 275. 2004).
