In Poland, twenty-five species of roses are found in the natural state, eleven of which are native species of foreign origin. The wild rose (Rosa canina L.) is one of the most common. Its fruits and flowers show pro-health properties - they increase the body’s resistance to diseases, have anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer and detoxifying properties, and are recommended for convalescence. For these reasons, wild rose should be a permanent part of our daily diet, especially nowadays when many people struggle with various inflammations. In addition, it should be emphasized that the wild rose has been an inseparable element of the Polish landscape for many years, not only fields and forests, but also rural gardens. We can admire the beauty of a rustic rose in parks, but also in an open landscape, and our task is to maintain this state for future generations
