The 'Ruh' rosehip variety is the result of crossing the May and Wrinkle species, obtained in the Moscow region under the leadership of V.D. Strelets. It is characterized by a late maturity period, which allows for planning the harvest later compared to other varieties.
The 'Ruh' bush belongs to the medium-sized type and has a weakly spreading structure. The stems are curved and light green, thorns are located along the entire length of the stem, and medium-sized leaves ensure sufficient photosynthetic area.
The fruits of this variety are large – average weight 3 grams, have an elongated shape and bright orange color. The medium skin thickness gives the fruit a pleasant aroma. The taste is sour-sweet and refreshing, and the vitamin C content reaches 1700 mg % of the berry mass. The variety is self-incompatible and resistant to diseases, which makes it convenient for wide application in gardening and industry. Yield is low (about 1.7 kg/bush), but stable every year due to the plant's winter hardiness.
