The actual number of the roses indigenous to Great Britain is a subject open to dispute among botanists, as the roses found wild show many variations. Most authorities agree that there are only five distinct types or species:

• "R. canina", the "Dog Rose";
• ""R. arvensis", the "Field Rose";
• "R. rubiginosa", "Sweet Briar";
• R. spinosissima", the "Burnet Rose"; and
• "R. villosa", the "Downy Rose".

"Dog Rose"

Botanical: "Rosa canina"

The "DOG ROSE" ("R. canina") is a flower of the early summer, its blossoms expanding in the first days of June and being no more to be found after the middle of July. The general growth of the "Dog Rose" is subject to so much variation that the original species defined by Linnaeus has been divided by later botanists into four or five subspecies. The flowers vary very considerably in colour, from almost white to a very deep pink, and have a delicate but refreshing fragrance. The scarlet fruit, or "hip" (a name that has come down from the Anglo-Saxon "hiope"), is generally described as 'flask-shaped.' It is what botanists term a false fruit, because it is really the stalk-end that forms it and grows up round the central carpels, enclosing them as a case; the real fruits, each containing one seed, are the little hairy objects within it. Immediately the flower has been fertilized, the receptacle round the immature fruits grows gradually luscious and red and forms the familiar "hip", which acts as a bait for birds, by whose agency the seeds are distributed. At first the hips are tough and crowned with the fivecleft calyx leaves, later in autumn they fall and the hips are softer and more fleshy. The pulp of the hips has a grateful acidity. In former times when garden fruit was scarce, hips were esteemed for dessert. Gerard assures us that 'the fruit when it is ripe maketh the most pleasante meats and banketting dishes as tartes and such-like,' the making whereof he commends 'to the cunning cooke and teethe to eate them in the riche man's mouth.' Another old writer says:

'Children with great delight eat the berries thereof when they are ripe and make chains and other pretty geegaws of the fruit; cookes and gentlewomen make tarts and suchlike dishes for pleasure.'

The Germans still use them to make an ordinary preserve and in Russia and Sweden a kind of wine is made by fermenting the fruit.

Rose hips were long official in the Pritish Pharmacopceia for refrigerant and astringent properties, but are now discarded and only used in medicine to prepare the confection of hips used in conjunction with other drugs, the pulp being separated from the skin and hairy seeds and beaten up with sugar. It is astringent and considered strengthening to the stomach and useful in diarrhoea and dysentery, allaying thirst, and for its pectoral qualities good for coughs and spitting of blood. Culpepper states that the hips are 'grateful to the taste and a considerable restorative, fitly given to consumptive persons, the conserve being proper in all distempers of the breast and in coughs and tickling rheums' and that it has 'a binding effect and helps digestion.' He also states that 'the pulp of the hips dried and powdered is used in drink to break the stone and to ease and help the colic.' The constituents of rose hips are malic and citric acids, sugar and small quantities of tannin, resin, wax, malates, citrates and other salts.

The leaves of the "Dog Rose" when dried and infused in boiling water have often been used as a substitute for tea and have a grateful smell and sub-astringent taste. The flowers, gathered in the bud and dried, are said to be more astringent than the Red Roses. They contain no honey and are visited by insects only for their pollen. Their scent is not strong enough to be of any practical use for distillation purposes.

Two explanations have been put forward for the popular name of this wild rose. The first is founded on an ancient tradition that the root would cure a bite from a mad dog (Pliny affirming that men derived their knowledge of its powers from a dream); and the other and more probable theory that it was the Dag Rose - 'dag' being a dagger - because of its great thorns, and like the 'Dogwood' (originally Dagwood) became changed into 'Dog' by people who did not understand the allusion.

"Rosa canina" - "Dog Rose"
...
Although you may expect a plant called "dog rose" is of lesser quality than other rose species, the name actually comes from the fact that this plant used to be "used to treat dog bites" (rabies). "Dog rose" is one of the least choosy woody plants in the rose family. It grows in sunny as well as half shadowy places and in all kinds of soils, with the exception of very nutrient-poor ground, acidic soil or peat. In the dunes, dog rose grows in sands where lots of plant materials degrade.

Rosa canina Rosaceae Dog Rose

Dog Rose

It was believed that any plant given the name "dog" was christened so because it meant that it did not smell or was inferior to other plants. It was also believed that the root of this plant was effective against the bite of a mad dog. "Dog Rose" is a deciduous shrub 1-5 m tall, though sometimes it can scramble higher into the crowns of taller trees. Its stems are covered with small, sharp, hooked prickles, which aid it in climbing. The leaves are pinnate, with 5-7 leaflets. The flowers are usually pale pink, but can vary between a deep pink and white. They are 4-6 cm diameter with five petals, and mature into an oval 1.5-2 cm red-orange fruit, or hip. Interestingly the species name "canina" also stems from the common name "Dog Rose". "Dog Rose" is native to Pakistan, Kashmir, West Asia, Africa and Europe.

"Canina" heißt soviel wie "hundsgemein", was aber nichts mit Hunden zu tun hat, sondern bedeutet, dass man die Hagebutte überall finden kann und sie sich deshalb überall verbreitet.

Ihren Namen "Friggadorn" oder "Friggas Dorn" erhielt diese Rose von der weisen Gemahlin Odins, "Frigga", der mütterlichen Liebes- und Fruchtbarkeitsgöttin, die die Sprache der Tiere und Pflanzen verstand. Aus Dankbarkeit für den Beistand bei schweren Geburten vergruben nach gutem Verlauf Hebammen einst die Nachgeburt unter einem Rosenbusch.

Names and etymology

The botanic name is derived from the common names "dog rose" or similar in several European languages.

It is sometimes considered that the word "dog" has a disparaging meaning in this context, indicating 'worthless' (by comparison with cultivated garden roses) (Vedel & Lange 1960). However it is also known that it was used in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries to treat the bite of rabid dogs, hence the name "dog rose" may result from this.

Other old folk names include "dogberry" and "witches' briar".
