Abstract

Species, forms and varieties of the genus Rosa (rose or wild rose) are known ornamental plants that are used as essential oil and medicinal plants. Interest in this group of plants began many centuries ago. The beginning of their rapid introduction into gardens and parks began in the 18th century. Over the past 100–200 years, the number of varieties that are beginning to be used in urban landscaping has been constantly increasing. Rosaries are created - as a special technique in landscape gardening art. In the new, XXI century, there is a new rise in interest in the revival of mass plantings of roses (and species of rose hips) both in parks and for landscape solutions for decorative design of urban spaces. The species that are of the greatest practical interest (decorative during the flowering period and autumn coloring of leaves, winter-, drought-, pollutant resistant) – Rosa amblyotis C.A. Mey, R. altaica Willd., R. corymbifera Borkh., R. davurica Pall., R. gallica L., R. sweginzowii Koehne. and, of course, R. rugosa Thunb., even though in recent years this species has been classified as invasive in a number of European countries.
