Abstract This research was conducted in the Erzurum province
of eastern Turkey during 1996-98. The rose hip (Rosa spp.) population
of c. 10 000 seedling shrubs was examined with regard to fruit and shrub
properties. Twelve promising rose hip genotypes were selected, six of which
belonged to R. dumalis, four to R. canina, and one genotype
was selected in both R. pulverulanta and R. montana. The genotypes
exhibited a range of 3.149-4.803 g for fruit weight, 63.11-71.13% for fruit
flesh ratio, 1074-2557 mg/100 g for ascorbic acid, 31.01-36.72% for total
soluble solids, and 34.82-40.15% for total dry weight. One selection (‘ERS
15’) was classified as thornless.
