Mediplant has evaluated various rose bushes species for the biological production of fat matter extracted from the seeds. Two species, Rosa rugosa and R. rubiginosa, stood out for the quality and productivity aspects. R. rugosa showed itself particularly easy to cultivate, to maintain and to harvest. For this species, the average seeds yield is 180 g per plant, with fatty substance content above 15%. The fatty substance content remained stable throughout the 10 years cultureat the contrary the seeds yield fluctuated considerably.
