Rosehip Samarsky

The 'Samarsky' rosehip is a medium-sized bush distinguished by its early ripening and universal purpose. It has a compact structure with strongly growing shoots of medium length, which are straight, light green, and matte. Thorns are located along the entire length of the shoot; they are medium or short, single, thin, and light-colored, ensuring good visibility of the fruits.

The fruits of 'Samarsky' have an elongated shape, a reddish-orange color, and medium skin thickness. The berry mass varies from 1.8 g to 6.0 g, depending on the specific description, but always remains medium. Inside the fruit, there is a high level of vitamin C – from 2560 mg% to 2800 mg%, as well as vitamin A and B group vitamins. Thanks to this, the rosehip becomes a valuable source of antioxidants and nutrients.

The variety is characterized by high drought resistance, heat tolerance, and frost resistance, which makes it suitable for cultivation in various climatic conditions. Yields reach 46.7–64.4 c/ha, and with proper care – up to 1 kg per tree. The plant withstands pests and diseases well, has good establishment, and is suitable both for gardening and commercial production.

The fruits of 'Samarsky' can be used in cooking: they are suitable for making compotes, jams, juices, and infusions. Due to its refreshing taste and bright aroma, the rosehip is also valued as an ingredient in traditional medicinal mixtures. Seedlings are easily grown on sunny plots with a spacing of 1.5–2 meters between plants, and the bush reaches approximately 2.5 m in height.
