The Plant
Botanical Family: Rosaceae
Plant part: Bud
Origin: France
How did Rosa canina, a climbing shrub (1 to 3m) that may be hardy, but whose white or pale pink flowers are so graceful and fragile, and whose fragrance is so delicate, come to be known as the dog rose? Although this ability has not been confirmed, a decoction of its root is said to be capable of curing rabies.
Or perhaps the sharp, curved “thorns” are analogous to the animal’s fangs. Note also that the botanical use of canina can mean “with less value”..
For a botanist, this wild rose is not covered with thorns, but rather with prickles. It’s a natural guest of the countryside, a familiar hedgerow companion to brambles, blackthorns, hawthorns and dogwoods, lining paths and forests. It is particularly fond of light, dry, warm limestone soils, but also thrives on degraded or even uncultivated soils, both on the plains and at higher altitudes.
Discorides and later Galen already described its medicinal virtues. Fruits, flowers, petals and roots, each with its own therapeutic properties.
You can’t talk about the rosehip without mentioning its smooth, red “false fruit” in the shape of an olive stone, the rosehip, whose pulp is edible. Vitamins C and others, condensed tannins, flavonoids and mineral salts give this false fruit major properties for coping with winter ailments, toning the venous system and fighting inflammation. Gratte-cul, the rude side of this shrub once again catches up with it, but this time the name comes from the itching hair it contains.
