Rose hips of some species, especially the Dog Rose (Rosa canina) and Rugosa Rose (Rosa rugosa), are very rich in vitamin C, among the richest sources of any plant. The hips are eaten by fruit-eating birds such as thrushes and waxwings, which then disperse the seeds in their droppings. Some birds, particularly finches, also eat the seeds.
Roses are subject to several diseases, such as rose rust, rose black spot, and powdery mildew. Fungal diseases in the rose are best solved by a preventative fungicidal spray program rather than by trying to cure an infection after it emerges on the plant. After the disease is visible, its spread can be minimized through pruning and the use of fungicides, although the actual infection cannot be reversed. Certain rose varieties are considerably less susceptible than others to fungal diseases.

Rose information: The individual flowers of many cultivars are semi-pendent and nodding, due to weak flower stalks. Rose thorns, while the sharp objects along a rose stem are commonly called "thorns", they are actually prickles. Rose prickles are typically sickle-shaped hooks, which aid the rose in hanging onto other vegetation when growing over it. View the many pictures of roses in the rose gallery.
