Abstract
SummaryThe ascorbic acid contents of different rose species were compared at different stages of hip development and showed that, overall, R. damcscena had the highest and R. moschata the lowest concentration of this vitamin. In R. damascena and R. canina, the high vitamin C species, the greatest amounts in the ovary of the flowers was found on their first day of opening but it occurred in other species when the petals were shedding or the flowers were in the bud stage. R. canina was most suitable for commercial harvesting of rose hips due to its high total ascorbic acid.
