Pharmacodynamics
Useful properties of rose hips: vitamin, tonic, antimicrobial, choleretic, anti-inflammatory, anti-atherosclerotic. Rose hips are a multivitamin with a predominance of vitamin C - ascorbic acid, as well as vitamin P (rutin), group B, K, carotene, vitamin E. In addition, the fruits contain flavonol glycosides kaempferol and quercetin, sugar - up to 18%, tannins - up to 4.5%, pectins - 3.7%, organic acids: citric - up to 2%, malic - up to 1.8%, etc.; lycopene, rubixanthin, essential oil, a significant amount of potassium salts, iron, manganese, phosphorus, calcium, magnesium. Rose hips have phytoncidal and powerful bactericidal properties. Rose hips, in addition to multivitamin properties, have choleretic, anti-inflammatory, regulating the activity of the gastrointestinal tract, as well as diuretic properties, which are not accompanied by irritation of the kidney tissue. Vitamin C - ascorbic acid - is involved in many redox processes in the body. Rose hips reduce the development of atherosclerosis. Vitamin P helps reduce capillary fragility and improves the body's use of ascorbic acid. Vitamin A - carotene - increases the overall resistance of the body. Vitamins B1, B2 affect the hematopoietic organs and improve vision. Vitamin K promotes normal blood clotting.
Contraindications for use
A large amount of ascorbic acid in rosehip decoction, infusion or tea can destroy tooth enamel. After taking rose hips, you should rinse your mouth with clean water. To reduce the destructive effect of acids on tooth enamel, you can drink rosehip infusion through a straw. For the same reason (high content of ascorbic acid), rosehip preparations are contraindicated for gastritis, duodenal ulcer or stomach with high acidity. Heart failure of the third degree, endocarditis and thrombophlebitis are contraindications for taking drugs from rose hips due to their high content of vitamin K, which increases blood clotting and, therefore, increases the risk of thrombosis in these diseases. You should know when to stop when treating with rose hips. Long-term use of rosehip infusion, decoction or syrup, which is useful for hepatitis and cholecystitis, can have the opposite effect on the liver - cause stagnation of bile and deterioration of the condition. Therefore, treatment of hepatitis with rose hips must be alternated with other herbs - cinquefoil, golden capillary, elecampane, and sandy immortelle. Hypotonic patients should remember that infusion and decoction of rose hips lowers blood pressure and, if necessary, compensate for this effect.
Side effects

Collection, preparation and drying of cinnamon rose hips
The medicinal raw materials are rose hips. The fruits are collected in August - September, when they acquire an orange-red or red color, but are still a little unripe, hard and do not require special care when picking. The collection must be completed before the onset of frost, since fruits touched by frost lose a large amount of vitamins during drying. The fruits are collected by hand in baskets or buckets. They can be stored for no more than 3-4 days. After collection, they must be dried. You can dry it in the sun or in attics with good ventilation, spreading it in a thin layer, but it is better in dryers at a temperature of 80-90 ° C (at this temperature the loss of vitamins is insignificant). The shelf life of raw materials is 2 years. The raw material has no odor, the taste is sour-sweet, slightly astringent.
Flowers and leaves are collected during flowering and air dried. The roots are dug up in late autumn, cleared of soil, and air dried. Shelf life of roots is 2 years, flowers are 1 year.

Dog rose (Rosa canina L.) is used for the production of choleretic drugs (“Holosas”). Young shoots of dog rose are strongly curved, the bark is greenish or reddish-brown in color without a bluish bloom. The sepals are pinnately dissected, after flowering they bend down and fall off long before the fruits ripen, so they do not have a hole at the top, which is a characteristic difference from other types of rose hips

Growing and cultivating cinnamon rose hips
The plant requires light and humus-rich soils, pH - 5.5-6.5, and grows well on chernozems, loamy and sandy loam soils. Drained, leveled areas without close groundwater should be allocated for rose hips. When growing plants on acidic soils, liming with slaked lime is necessary at the rate of 300-800 g per 1 m2. The plots must be provided with watering. It is better to plant plants in plots and gardens from autumn until the soil freezes or in early spring before buds open in rows at a distance of 1.5 m from each other; the distance between the rows is 3 m. Planting holes 40 cm deep and 40-60 cm in diameter are filled with a nutrient mixture consisting of 10-15 kg of humus (compost), 200 g of superphosphate, 50 g of potassium salt, 70 g of ammonium nitrate. Fertilizers are thoroughly mixed with the soil and the seedling is planted in a planting hole so that the root collar after watering (4-5 liters of water per bush) is at soil level. Then mulch with peat and sawdust. Before planting, the shoots are cut into 2-3 buds (10 cm); the roots are immersed in a clay mash, preferably with heteroauxin (100 mg per 10 liters of water). Then the rosehip seedlings are placed in a hole, the roots are spread around the circumference, sprinkled with earth and compacted.
For better pollination and increased yield, 1-2 rosehip bushes of a different variety are planted every 3-4 plants. When planting in autumn, the plants are earthed up before winter, and then in the spring, immediately after frost, they are unearthed.
Plant care comes down to keeping the tree trunks loose and free of weeds, annual feeding consisting (per 1 m2) of 1-1.5 kg of organic matter, 200-300 g of superphosphate, 100-150 g of potassium salt, 100 -200 g ammonium nitrate. Instead of the mixture, you can add 300-350 g of nitrophoska.
The fruit yield per bush is 1-4 kg. Currently, the most common varieties of rose hips are: Vitamin VNIVI, Yubileiny, Krupnoplodny VNIVI, Besshipny VNIVI, Vorontsovsky - 1, Vorontsovsky - 2, Vorontsovsky - 3, Late-ripening, Russian - 1, Russian - 2.
