Burgundy rose
Rosa × centifolia
Rosa × centifolia, commonly known as the hundred-petaled rose or French rose, originates from traditional medicine practices in Europe and is used for ornamental purposes rather than medicinal ones. Scientific evidence suggests that its aqueous extract may possess anticoagulant and antioxidant properties, though these findings are preliminary and require further investigation. Genetic studies using SCoT markers have shown effective assessment of genetic diversity among 38 rose accessions, highlighting differences within and among groups. Additionally, research indicates that Rosa × centifolia extracts containing kaempferol and kaempferol-3-glucoside may reduce UVB-induced DNA damage without causing cytotoxicity. No major safety concerns or recorded drug interactions have been identified for this plant, but further studies are needed to fully understand its potential benefits and risks.
