Wild roses – the potential of the varieties

Around 150 wild rose species have contributed to the almost 30,000 cultivated rose varieties that exist today. Wild roses are distinguished by single blooms of five petals(except for rosa sericea, which has four) and by decorative rosehips in autumn. Their natural area of distribution is the northern hemisphere- they come from Europe, America,Asia and the Middle East.Wild roses brought their genetic make-up and characteristics in quite different ways to countless varieties,resulting time and again in new breeds.

Wild roses existed even before people. Their path to domesticity began probably well over 5,000 years ago in the gardens of china. Today, wild roses look at their best in wild gardens,cottage gardens,in large open spaces or even managed nature reserves.
