Rosehip Slavutich

The 'Slavutich' rosehip variety is a medium-sized shrub with moderate height and width. The bush has a characteristic medium-spreading structure; the shoots are of medium length with drooping tips colored brownish-red. Thorns are located mainly in the lower part of the shoot, which facilitates fruit harvesting and increases yield.

The leaves are of medium size, green in color, with a smooth surface; their plates are hairless and matte, with sharp, non-overturned teeth. The flowers are of medium size, colored pinkish-red, and bloom in May-June, giving the bush a decorative appearance.

The fruits are light red, elongated berries weighing about 2.5 g, containing a high vitamin C content (2500 mg/%). Thanks to this, the variety has healing properties and is widely used for preparing infusions, decoctions, and other medicinal agents. The yield is approximately 33 c/ha, and the variety is winter-hardy.
