Phylogenetic classification:

Perennial Plants of the order Rosales, belonging to the Rosaceae family and Rosa gender . This is an advanced Angiosperm (euangiosperme), dicotyledons triaperturée, advanced.

Status:

No indication of protection for the plant which is most widespread and cosmopolitan.

Origin:

Multiple Originally, this plant is very cosmopolitan: North Africa, Canary Islands and Madeira, West Asia, Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq, Israel, Lebanon, Syria, Caucasus region, Central Asia (Tajikistan), Indian subcontinent ( Pakistan), throughout Europe, the Mediterranean to Scandinavia, including the British Isles and Russia. She was naturalized in North America (United States) and Oceania (Australia, New Zealand).

Ecology:

Encountered in regions of plains and low mountain in various types of soils.

General Description:

It is a tree a few meters. It consists of robust and vigorous shoots, erected or dumbant. The branches often bear spines strong and hooked, often dilated at their base. The flowering branches do not usually have spine. The leaves are alternate, pinnately-compound and include five to seven leaflets elliptic, coarsely toothed. The leaflets have an average size of four to five centimeters in length, about two inches wide at the fort. The corolla of the flowers, white to pink, has an average diameter of five centimeters. It has five petals and numerous stamens. There is no sepals: this is a single flower. The floral receptacle is dug shaped urn containing carpels hairy to give the real fruit of the plant. False fruit or Cynorrhodons are bright red at maturity (usually the maturity is in October). Its size of about two centimeters, these false fruits come from the transformation of the floral receptacle and contain real fruit (which are akenes) embedded in the middle of many hair urticants. The flowers are either solitary or united in corymbes.

Features:

The dog rose was used as the rootstock for different varieties of roses, but currently only varieties inermis Rosa Canina (without spines) and Rosa Canina Pfänder (excellent for grafting roses stems) are used. Horticultural varieties have been selected for ornamental culture.

The eglantine is used in perfumery for its delicate notes. Its fruits are very rich in vitamins (C, B and PP - the levels of vitamin C are twenty times higher than those of citrus fruit).
It is a wild plant, whose fruits are edible and used in many ways: fresh, softened by frost or after a slight burning, they form a paste that is eaten with sweet milk. But they are used especially in jams, and syrups in frozen. Reduce dried and powdered, are used in decoction for teas. All information is food (and many others) are listed on the site http://www.plantes-comestibles.com/ that you can recommend to all for its clarity and rich editorial. On this site the recipe for the jam of cynorrhodon (or jam of boutemousse) is precisely detailed, and many other usefull informations.

A note in the pseudo-fruit, the presence of numerous hairs, which can be particularly urticants and frequently used in the past by children from farms, to make a bad joke.

Belle composition,jolie image!

Bonjour Philippe,
La composition est intéressante avec une bonne mise en valeur du sujet qui s'oppose bien à l'arrière plan mais il me semble qu'une très légère surexposition empêche d'apprécier pleinement la finesse des détails de la fleur.
A bientôt sur TN pour de nouvelles aventures.
Gérard
