Tea rose
Rosa ×odorata
Rosa ×odorata is a hybrid rose species traditionally used minimally. Scientific evidence suggests potential benefits, particularly for gastric health and inflammation. Studies indicate that flavonoid-rich extracts (FOE) from Rosa odorata var. gigantea may protect against stress-induced gastric injury by modulating inflammation, oxidative stress, and apoptosis. Additionally, FOEs from Rosa ×odorata showed promise in inhibiting epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) signaling pathways, which could be beneficial for chronic atrophic gastritis. Notably, the nutritional properties and antioxidant activity of tea-scented rosehips varied among different Rosa species, with Rosa odorata var. odorata exhibiting high levels of bioactive compounds. Sericic acid, a component found in Rosa ×odorata, demonstrated anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects by reducing inflammation markers and improving colon damage in mice with DSS-induced colitis. No major safety concerns or recorded drug interactions have been identified for this plant.
