Number of fruits (female fertility), stamens (male fertility) and filled seeds were assessed in wild rose (Rosa canina L.) populations sampled from Beysehir watershed divided into two main (A & B) and six sub-habitats classes based on ecological characters. Fertility variation, effective number and coancestry were estimated based on fecundity assessment in the populations. Beside, the habitats were compared by multiple analyses of variance. Results showed that main habitats (A & B) had similar mean and coefficients of variation for the assessments. The mean values among sub-habitats within the main habitat 'A' varied considerably unlike the main habitat 'B' which was more homogenous. Coefficient of variation of fecundity estimates among individuals was more than 60% in main habitats and most of the sub-habitats.
