Rose
Rosa
Rosa is a genus of flowering plants that includes several species traditionally used in various herbal practices. However, there are no specific traditional uses recorded for Rosa itself. Scientific evidence primarily focuses on other related plant species; for example, studies have shown that different cultivars of Prunus domestica vary in their susceptibility to pests due to differing levels of phenolic compounds. Additionally, KREO has been found to prevent depressive-like behaviors in mice by modulating BDNF signaling, though this is specific to Rosa rugosa and not directly related to Rosa species. Research also includes the development of biodegradable composite films for improving shelf life and extraction methods using ultrasound-assisted deep eutectic solvents from Rosa roxburghii, but these findings are still in early stages and more research is needed. No major safety issues or drug interactions have been recorded for Rosa species to date.

What the science says
- The study found that different Prunus domestica cultivars varied in their susceptibility to Brachycaudus helichrysi due to differing levels of phenolic compounds.
- KREO prevented CUMS-induced depressive-like behaviors in mice by modulating BDNF signaling.
- The study developed a multifunctional silk fibroin-based composite film with dialdehyde cellulose and nanoparticles that improved blueberry shelf life while being biodegradable.
- This study developed an ultrasound-assisted deep eutectic solvent method to extract polysaccharides from Rosa roxburghii and other plants, identifying structure-function relationships.
- Rosa damascena callus-derived exosome-like vesicles showed improved biocompatibility, increased collagen synthesis, reduced melanin production, and suppressed inflammatory cytokine secretion in skin-related cellular models.
- This review found that certain plant-based treatments showed potential as adjunct or alternative therapies for cutaneous leishmaniasis, but current evidence is limited by methodological weaknesses.
- Five compounds upregulated by Rosa chinensis in response to Podosphaera pannosa infection inhibited Spodoptera exigua larval feeding.
- Beverages enriched with rosehip demonstrated higher antioxidant potential compared to those with sea buckthorn.
- The review synthesizes recent advances in rosehip bioactive compounds, their pharmacological activities, and traditional uses, highlighting potential for functional foods and therapies but noting limited clinical validation.
