Rosehip species
Among the variety of rosehip varieties with edible fruits, it is possible to distinguish two groups:
- With large (weighing more than 4 g) fruits of various shapes, covered with a dense skin. This includes Oval, Jubilee, and also includes Apple, Globe. Juicy berries can be processed into jam or dried. In warm regions, the crop is harvested from August practically to October, since the repeated flowering of the bushes is often observed.
- With smaller (less than 4 g) berries with a thin skin. Usually, the varieties of this group are slightly inferior in yield. This includes Vorontsovsky 1, Vitamin VNIVI, as well as Rubin, Titan. The berries are mainly used for drying.
Oval
The bushes, reaching 1.5 m in height, of this mid-season, disease-resistant, winter-hardy variety, are covered with white buds during the flowering period. Juicy, sweet, slightly flattened fruits with a red thick skin ripen in unison closer to the third decade of August. These plants are rarely damaged by insects. Berries are more often used for processing, but they can be dried if necessary.
Anniversary
This mid-season, winter-hardy variety forms a strong bush with a height of up to 1.5 m. Closer to the middle August, large fruits of a round-onion shape with orange-red skin and sweet and sour pulp. The berries are dried for future use. You can make jam from them. The inflorescence petals are painted in a bright pink tone.
Apple
Relatively low (up to 1.2 m) compact bushes of this winter-hardy variety are not inferior in terms of fruiting performance to taller varieties. Yablochny is prized for its high decorative effect of dark red buds and sweet and sour fruits. Usually, berries of a flat-round shape ripen, starting in mid-August. Delicious jam is made from them.
the globe
The bushes of this winter-hardy variety, reaching a height of 1.5 m, are formed by thick stems, covered with large, saturated pink inflorescences during the flowering period. Bright red spherical berries ripen more often in the second half of August. The Globus variety favorably differs in its high fruiting rates, therefore, it is necessary to provide for the installation of supports under the branches. Aromatic jam, preserves, candied fruits are prepared from berries.
Vorontsovsky 1
This mid-season hybrid is distinguished by tall bushes (up to 2 m) and abundant fruiting. Rosehip Vorontsovsky 1 has average winter hardiness. From one adult bush, under favorable conditions, approximately 3 kg of orange-red fragrant fruits of an oval-elongated shape are obtained, which can be dried.
Vitamin VNIVI
Medium-early winter hardy, rarely affected by harmful insects and diseases, the variety forms a sprawling (up to 2 m high) erect bush. Pale pink buds are combined into inflorescences. From the first days of August, oval red-orange fruits begin to ripen. Since this is not a self-pollinated species of rose hips, it is required to grow another variety of this plant nearby.
Ruby
This early-maturing, vigorous variety, which forms bushes with a maximum height of about 2.5 m, is highly winter-hardy. The petals of the buds are painted in a charming pale pink hue. In the first decade of August, round-oval fruits with sweet and sour pulp begin to ripen. As they mature, they change the orange hue of the skin to a dark red tone. Used primarily for drying.
Titanium
Mid-season, resistant to cold and disease, a spectacular variety strikes with powerful stems that grow up to 2 meters in height. During the flowering period, light pink graceful inflorescences become an excellent decoration of the garden. Fragrant fruits are combined into a few clusters. They ripen mainly by mid-August. Good for drying.
