May rose hip (cinnamon rose hip, cinnamon rose, May rose), Rosa majalis. Description, illustrations of the plant

Rosa cinnamon (cinnamon rosehip), Rosa cinnamomea L. Botanical description, area and habitats, chemical composition, use in medicine and industry

May rosehip (cinnamon rosehip, cinnamon rose, May rose)

Synonyms: wild rose, svoborina, chiporas, wild rose, etc.

A shrub of the Rosaceae family (Rosaceae), reaching 1,5 m in height, with thin, shiny red-brown branches, with a few curved thorns on them. Leaves pinnate, 4-9 cm long, with 5-7 leaflets and herbaceous stipules.

The flowers are pink with a diameter of 3-5 cm, often solitary, rarely 2-3 together on pedicels of various lengths (5-17 cm).

The fruits are nut-shaped, one-seeded, enclosed in spherical or ovoid fleshy hypanthia, forming a false fruit. The inner walls of the fruit are hairy, sepals are preserved at the top.

Blooms from mid-May to July.

Range and habitats. Rosehip May - a widespread species with the Eurosiberian type of range. Occurs from Scandinavia to Central Siberia. It grows in forests, shrubs, river floodplains.

Chemical composition. The fruits are used for medicinal purposes. In the dry pulp of cinnamon rose fruits, 23,9% of sugars were found, of which 18,5% were invert sugar; crude fiber 12,5%, pectin 3,7-14%, crude ash 6,4%; total acidity 2,8%. Found malic and citric acids, potassium salts 23 mg%, sodium - 5 mg%, calcium - 26 mg%, magnesium - 8 mg%, phosphorus - 8 mg%, iron - 11,5 mg%.

The average content of ascorbic acid in fruits supplied to factories is 1200-1500 mg%. The study of the composition of flavonoid substances showed the presence of quercetin, kaempferol, isoquercitrin. The total content of flavonoids (vitamin P) for cinnamon rose is 4%, for wrinkled rose 2,13%.

The following catechins have been identified: epigallocatechin, gallocatechin, epigallocatechin gallate and epicatechin gallate. The total content of tannins in dry fruits is 4,6%, the total content of anthocyanins is 45 mg%.

Rosehip, like other P-vitamin plants, is an industrial source of flavonoid substances, since synthetic production turned out to be more expensive. The total content of tocopherols (vitamin E) 170 mg%. Rosehip oil is a brown oily liquid with a green tint, bitter in taste, with a content of tocopherols of at least 40 mg%, carotenoids - at least 55 mg%.

Carotolin is an orange liquid in a thin layer, with a specific smell and taste. The content of carotenoids in terms of carotene is not less than 120 mg%.

Fatty oil was found in the seeds, tannins were found in the roots and leaves.

Rose hips are used as a source of vitamins for the preparation of diet drinks, infusions, decoctions, concentrates, and also serve as a raw material for the production of ascorbic acid, but at present, ascorbic acid is obtained mainly synthetically.

Application in medicine. Rosehip is used as a choleretic agent for cholecystitis, hepatitis and gastrointestinal diseases, especially those associated with a decrease in bile secretion.

Care must be taken when using ascorbic acid in certain conditions of the body. There are indications that long-term use of large doses of ascorbic acid can lead to inhibition of the insulin-forming function of the pancreas.

Therefore, when prescribing large doses or long-term use of ascorbic acid, it is recommended to control blood sugar levels.

When prescribing ascorbic acid, it is necessary to take into account its ability to stimulate the function of the adrenal glands and contribute to the excessive formation of corticosteroids, which, under certain conditions, can cause a violation of carbohydrate metabolism.

Contraindications to the use of ascorbic acid, especially in combination with rutin, are thrombophlebitis and other diseases accompanied by a tendency to form blood clots.

Infusion of rose hips. A tablespoon of unpeeled rose hips is crushed, placed in a porcelain or enamel vessel, poured with 2 cups of boiling water, covered and placed in a boiling water bath, stirring often. After 15 minutes, remove from the bath and leave to stand for 24 hours, then filter, drink 1/4-1/2 cup 2 times a day.

An infusion of peeled rose hips is prepared in the same way, but boiled for 10 minutes and infused for 2-3 hours.

Other uses. Valuable vitamin plant.

Thanks to the interweaving of branches and thorns, it forms impenetrable thickets and is recommended for hedges.

A decoction of rose hips used to dye fabrics orange.

Jam is made from the petals, and pink vinegar is also obtained.

Rosehip cinnamon. Basic information about the plant, use in medicine

May rosehip (cinnamon rosehip, cinnamon rose, May rose)

A wild shrub 1-2 m high of the rose family, common from the Far North to the subtropics.

False fruits (hypanthia), formed by a strongly developed receptacle and ovary, spherical or elongated, orange, orange-red or red, fleshy, with a large number of seeds. The pulp of rose hips contains many very sharp bristly hairs. The fruits ripen in August - September, remaining on the branches until winter.

Fruits contain vitamin C (10-20%), carotene (12-18 mg%), vitamins P, B2, K, E, up to 20% sugars (mainly glucose and fructose), pectin substances (2-3%), citric and malic acids, tannins and dyes, essential oil, flavone glycosides, kaempferol and quercetin. Fatty oil rich in carotene and vitamin E was found in the seeds. The fruit pulp contains potassium salts, iron, manganese, phosphorus, calcium, and magnesium. The petals contain essential rose oil. It is a clear, pleasantly smelling yellowish liquid. The roots contain many tannins.

As a source of vitamin raw materials, rosehip species of the cinnamon section are of interest, including valuable high-vitamin species: cinnamon rosehip, rose hip, Daurian rosehip, wrinkled rosehip and loose rosehip.

Rosehip surpasses many plants in variety and quantity of vitamins. The content of vitamin C in its fruits is 10 times more than in black currants, and 100 times more than in apples. One to three fruits are able to provide the daily requirement of an adult for vitamin C.

Juice and vitamin syrup are obtained from fresh fruits. Fresh, pickled and dried fruits are widely used for fortification of culinary and confectionery products, juices, liqueurs. Jelly, jam, surrogates, mashed potatoes, compotes, jam, marmalade are prepared from crushed fruits. The food industry produces concentrates, sweets and dragees, the medical industry produces powders, tablets, pills, syrup, liquid extract and dry fruits.

The healing properties of wild rose in Russia were known in the 1787th century. Its fruits were considered an extremely effective remedy and were given out by special permission only to representatives of the nobility. During the Russo-Prussian War of 1791-XNUMX. in the Moscow First Military Hospital, the wounded were given "molasses svoroborinnuk" to maintain their strength (then rose hips were called svoroborin).

Now rose hips are widely used as a source of vitamin C and multivitamins for the preparation of vitamin supplements, diet drinks, infusions, decoctions of concentrates. By hot extraction of the pulp of fruits and seeds with vegetable oil, rosehip oil and carotolin are obtained, which are used as wound healing agents. Fruit preparations are recommended for low acidity of gastric juice, as a mild choleretic agent for cholecystitis. Fruits rich in iron and vitamins are used for dietary nutrition and the treatment of anemia. Due to the rich set of vitamins, fruits are used to treat and prevent a number of diseases associated with impaired capillary circulation.

The presence of large amounts of vitamin C is due to the use of fruits as a means of increasing the body's resistance to certain infectious diseases, intoxications and restoring efficiency in case of mental and physical overwork. Clinical studies have shown that the use of fruits slows down the development of atherosclerosis. Preparations from the fruits are used to prevent the treatment of scurvy, with hemorrhagic diathesis, hemophilia, bleeding (nasal, pulmonary, uterine), long-term non-healing ulcers and wounds, bone fractures.

All types of wild rose are allowed to be used as vitamin raw materials, provided that the content of ascorbic acid in their fruits is at least a percent. Low-vitamin species of rose hips, in particular the most common dog rose hip (with a vitamin C content of less than a percent), are used to produce the drug holosas, indicated for chronic diseases of the liver and biliary tract.

In traditional Tibetan medicine, rose hips are used orally for pulmonary tuberculosis as a sedative; externally - for baths with rheumatism, roots - for baths with paralysis; Rosehip roots are used to treat dysentery, they are used as an antihelminthic, for cholelithiasis and urolithiasis, heart disease, malaria and hypertension.

In folk medicine, white fruits and their peel were used for urolithiasis, as well as analgesic, antitussive, mild laxative, for gastric and duodenal ulcers, anacid gastritis, anemia, uterine bleeding and atherosclerosis; flowers - for lotions for eye diseases; petals - as an antitussive, with erysipelas; branches and leaves - as an analgesic for radiculitis and gastric colic, for flatulence, as an astringent.

In veterinary medicine, rosehip is indicated for C-hypovitaminosis (red foot, ulceration in fur animals), to accelerate the growth of weak animals, as a diuretic and detoxifying agent.

Rosehip May (Rose May), Rosa majalis. Botanical description of the plant, area, methods of application, cultivation

May rosehip (cinnamon rosehip, cinnamon rose, May rose)

The Latin name of the genus Rosa comes from the Old Persian "wrodon", which in the Greek dialect was transformed into "rhodon", and then in Latin - into "rosa". The Russian generic name is obviously related to the thorns on the branches.

Perennial deciduous shrub up to 2 m tall with thin twig-like branches covered with shiny brown-red bark, sometimes covered with a bluish bloom; old branches brownish-brown.

On average, one stem (aerial axis) lives 4-5 years, and the rhizome - from 8 to 13 years. The shoots are planted with sparse hard, sickle-shaped spikes with an expanded base, usually sitting in pairs at the base of the leaf petioles, as well as numerous (especially in the lower part of the branches and on young non-flowering shoots) straight or slightly curved needle-like spines; flower-bearing shoots usually without thorns.

Young shoots are a tasty dish for herbivores, but rose hips defend themselves against them with thorns. There are fewer thorns on the stiffened shoots, since the bark protects the shoots, but the thorns become larger and bend down, which prevents mice from getting to the fruits.

The leaves are compound, imparipinnate, with 3-7 pairs of elliptical, toothed leaflets along the edge, with a total length of up to 7 cm. Petioles are pubescent, often with glands hidden under pubescence. The stipules of the leaves of sterile shoots are narrow, with tubular edges, while the leaves of flower-bearing shoots are wide, flat, with ears. Leaflets are thin, close together, 1,4-6 cm long, 8-28 mm wide, ovate-oblong, narrowed towards the base, pointed, with wide teeth, bright or gray-green, pubescent below.

The flowers are large, solitary or in clusters of 2-3, 3-7 cm in diameter, with five petals and a five-parted calyx. Short pedicels, 5-17 mm long, covered with lanceolate bracts. Sepals entire, narrow, up to 3 cm long, with lanceolate appendages, directed upwards; remain with fruits after ripening. Petals are pink to deep red, broadly obovate, slightly notched at the apex. There are many stamens and pistils; columns form a large, woolly head. The mouth of the hypanthium is wide, up to 2 mm in diameter, the disc is narrow.

Blooms from May to July. The duration of flowering of the plant as a whole is 20 days, and of individual flowers - 2-5 days. Branches bloom in the second year.

Insects visit rosehip flowers for pollen, guided by their strong smell and bright color. There are no devices for storing nectar and the nectar itself in rosehip flowers. Pollinators are bees, beetles, butterflies, bronze and lumberjacks.

The fruits are spherical, rarely ovoid or elliptical, smooth, orange or red, fleshy, crowned with sepals remaining upward directed. Inside the hypanthium there are numerous hairy, hard nutlets, between which numerous sharp bristly hairs are located along the inner walls of the receptacle. Rose hips are formed by a developed receptacle and ovary and are classified as false fruits. The fruits ripen in August-September.

Bright fruits attract birds such as hazel grouse, crows, jackdaws, buntings. Birds eat the pulp of the fruit, and the seeds, along with excrement, fall to the ground and thus spread over long distances (endozoochory).

Rosehip May - a widespread species with a Euro-Siberian type of range. It occurs from Scandinavia to Central Siberia (reaches approximately to Lake Baikal), never entering the Arctic and only occasionally descending to the steppe zone. It occurs in the European part of Russia, Western Siberia, Eastern Siberia (the basin of the upper and middle reaches of the Yenisei, the Angara basin, the southern Baikal region, southwestern Transbaikalia; Kazakhstan (Tarbagatai). In Altai, it is common in most areas.

May rosehip grows singly or in groups in the undergrowth of sparse forests, on edges, clearings and clearings, among bushes and along ravines, more often found in meadows and floodplain forests. Most often it is part of the shrub thickets in the floodplains of the rivers and occupies a dominant position there. Included in shrub associations along with prickly rose hips, Tatar honeysuckle and others.

In the forest-tundra, it occurs among sparse birch forests. In the forest-steppe it inhabits birch, pine and oak groves, and in Western Siberia partly also the flat steppe. In mountainous areas, it occupies mainly river valleys. It also occurs under the canopy of rare trees and shrubs with low crown density. Prefers alluvial soils.

May rose hips are a natural concentrate of many vitamins. The fruit pulp contains ascorbic acid (vitamin C), riboflavin (vitamin B2), beta-carotene (provitamin A), phylloquinone (vitamin K) and bioflavonoids (vitamin P), while the seeds contain tocopherols (vitamin E) and fatty oil. For more information about the chemical composition, see the "Read more about useful properties" section below.

Rosehip berries are edible and used in the food industry, they are used to make jam, jam, marmalade, compotes and jelly, they are added to sweets, drinks, teas. Jam is made from the petals, and pink vinegar is also obtained.

The fruits are rich in vitamin C and are used as food and also as a medicine. Due to unpretentiousness and winter hardiness, it is used in landscaping cities. Thanks to the interweaving of branches and thorns, it forms impenetrable thickets and is recommended for hedges. A decoction of rose hips used to dye fabrics orange.

Rosehip May - the ancestor of most cultivated varieties of roses, the "queen of flowers". The rose is valued for the beauty of the flowers, the variety of their colors and the exceptional aroma that depends on the presence of essential oil in the petals. Varieties of roses are obtained as a result of careful selection of the best specimens, careful care and selection, and often cultivars are grafted onto the May rosehip.

The shrub prefers a bright, wind-protected place. The soil should not be swampy, saline, acidic. It is better to propagate by offspring and dividing the bush, although seeds, layering, root and stem cuttings are also used. Offspring are taken from healthy bushes in late autumn or early spring. The rhizome part of the offspring is left 12-17 cm long, the above-ground part is cut to 5 cm. When dividing the bush, strong plants are also selected, the shoots are cut to 7-10 cm. It is better to immerse the roots in a clay mash. A hole is dug up to a width and depth of up to 50 cm, where rotted manure or humus is introduced. Water the plant thoroughly after planting.

Rosehip does not require special care, it needs to be watered and weeded regularly. Fruiting begins after 2-3 years, the most abundant harvests occur after 3-5 years.

Rosehip May (cinnamon rosehip), Rosa majatis. Interesting plant facts

May rosehip (cinnamon rosehip, cinnamon rose, May rose)

Family Rosaceae, class Dicotyledonous, department Angiosperms.

Rosehip, or May rose, is often found in sparse forests, on the edges, in thickets of shrubs, near fields.

This is a low shrub, up to 2 m tall. Young shoots with many straight thin thorns. The bark on old branches is brownish-brown, and the spines are hard, bent, located in twos at the base of the leaf petioles. Leaves pinnate, with 5-7 leaflets.

The flowers are pink, regular, with 5 large free petals, the calyx is five-parted, there are many stamens and pistils. The fruits are nuts, combined into a berry-like false fruit.

Rosehip got its name not by chance. The plant is densely covered with thorns, which serve as a good protection against eating it by herbivores.

Rosehip blooms in mid-May and blooms until July. Large pink, with numerous yellow stamens, wild rose flowers with a delicate, pleasant aroma attract many pollinating insects: bees, bumblebees, bronze beetles and lumberjacks.

Rosehip flowers turn towards the sun during the day, and at night the petals form a "hut", protecting pollen from dew. Flowers appear only on shoots of the second year of development, since young shoots do not have flower buds.

After flowering, the pedicels and ovaries grow into fleshy red berry-like "fruits" inside which are nuts. The pulp of the "fruits" of rose hips is saturated with vitamin C, medicinal syrups are prepared from it. Birds (grouse, jackdaws, crows, oatmeal, etc.), eating "berries", spread the plant through the forest.

As a result of the work of gardeners and breeders, the "queen of flowers" - a cultivated rose - originated from the wild rose. Now more than 1000 different varieties of it are known.

Alcohol content of warm beer 07.05.2024

Beer, as one of the most common alcoholic drinks, has its own unique taste, which can change depending on the temperature of consumption. A new study by an international team of scientists has found that beer temperature has a significant impact on the perception of alcoholic taste. The study, led by materials scientist Lei Jiang, found that at different temperatures, ethanol and water molecules form different types of clusters, which affects the perception of alcoholic taste. At low temperatures, more pyramid-like clusters form, which reduces the pungency of the "ethanol" taste and makes the drink taste less alcoholic. On the contrary, as the temperature increases, the clusters become more chain-like, resulting in a more pronounced alcoholic taste. This explains why the taste of some alcoholic drinks, such as baijiu, can change depending on temperature. The data obtained opens up new prospects for beverage manufacturers, ... >>

Major risk factor for gambling addiction 07.05.2024

Computer games are becoming an increasingly popular form of entertainment among teenagers, but the associated risk of gaming addiction remains a significant problem. American scientists conducted a study to determine the main factors contributing to this addiction and offer recommendations for its prevention. Over the course of six years, 385 teenagers were followed to find out what factors may predispose them to gambling addiction. The results showed that 90% of study participants were not at risk of addiction, while 10% became gambling addicts. It turned out that the key factor in the onset of gambling addiction is a low level of prosocial behavior. Teenagers with a low level of prosocial behavior do not show interest in the help and support of others, which can lead to a loss of contact with the real world and a deepening dependence on virtual reality offered by computer games. Based on these results, scientists ... >>

Traffic noise delays the growth of chicks 06.05.2024

The sounds that surround us in modern cities are becoming increasingly piercing. However, few people think about how this noise affects the animal world, especially such delicate creatures as chicks that have not yet hatched from their eggs. Recent research is shedding light on this issue, indicating serious consequences for their development and survival. Scientists have found that exposure of zebra diamondback chicks to traffic noise can cause serious disruption to their development. Experiments have shown that noise pollution can significantly delay their hatching, and those chicks that do emerge face a number of health-promoting problems. The researchers also found that the negative effects of noise pollution extend into the adult birds. Reduced chances of reproduction and decreased fertility indicate the long-term effects that traffic noise has on wildlife. The study results highlight the need ... >>

Seoul Semiconductor SunLike LED is the safest 25.11.2017

Seoul Semiconductor, an LED specialist, announced that its SunLike lighting LED, which is closest to the spectrum of sunlight, has received RG 1 Eye Safety certification. This is the highest level of safety for 25W COB LEDs.

The Eye Safety certification is based on an analysis of the emission spectrum. It is defined in the international standard CIE S 009:2002 and takes into account the factors of exposure to the eyes and skin described in the IEC / EN 62471 standard. The highest level of No Risk is received by sources that do not pose a "photobiological" hazard to humans. Level RG 1 (Low Risk) means that there is no risk in normal daily use. Level RG 2 (Intermediate Risk) indicates that there is no risk, but discomfort due to bright light or heat is possible. Finally, an RG level of 3 (High Risk) indicates that the light source is dangerous even with momentary exposure.

In addition to safety, the manufacturer also attributes good color rendering to the advantages of SunLike LEDs. These LEDs are expected to be widely used in home and office lighting, educational institutions, medical institutions, museums, shops and other places where safe and natural lighting is required.
