MORPHOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF ROSA CANINA L. IN THE BUKHARA REGION

Аннотация

The study focuses on the morphological characteristics of Rosa canina L. in the Bukhara region, aiming to document and analyze its phenotypic traits in this specific geographical area. Key morphological features such as plant height, stem structure, leaf morphology, flower size, petal color, fruit shape, and thorn distribution were examined. The research highlights the adaptability of Rosa canina L. to the climatic and soil conditions of the Bukhara region, providing insights into its growth patterns and ecological significance. The findings contribute to a better understanding of the species' variability and potential uses in horticulture, medicine, and conservation efforts in arid and semi-arid environments. This study serves as a foundational reference for further research onthe species and itsecological role in the region.

Rosa canina L., commonly known as the dog rose, is a widely distributed species of the Rosaceae family, found across Europe, Asia, and North Africa. Its adaptability to diverse climatic and ecological conditions has made it a subject of interest for botanists, ecologists, and horticulturists. The Bukhara region of Uzbekistan, characterized by its semi-arid climate and unique soil composition, provides an ideal environment for the growth of Rosa canina L. This literature review aims to synthesize existing research on the morphological characteristics of Rosa canina L. in the Bukhara region, highlighting its growth habits, structural features, ecological adaptations, and significance. Rosa canina L. is a deciduous shrub that typically grows to a height of 1–3 meters. Studies have shown that the plant exhibits a robust and sprawling growth habit, often forming dense thickets (Khatamsaz, 1992). In the Bukhara region, the plant's growth is influenced by the semi-arid climate, with deep root systems that allow it to access water from deeper soil layers (Grieve, 1931). The stems are arching and covered with sharp, curved thorns, which serve as a defense mechanism against herbivores (Rehder, 1940). The thorns are typically reddish-brown when young, turninggrayish as they mature. The leaves of Rosa canina L. are compound and pinnate, typically consisting of 5–7 leaflets. Each leaflet is ovate to elliptical in shape, with serrated margins (Khatamsaz, 1992). The leaves are dark green on the upper surface and paler underneath, with a slightly glossy texture (Rehder, 1940). In the Bukhara region, the leaves emerge in early spring and persist until late autumn, providinga lushgreen appearance totheshrub during thegrowing season (G
