Tea rose
Rosa ×odorata
Rosa ×odorata, a hybrid rose species, has its origins in East Asia. While it is not traditionally used in any specific medical practices or folk remedies, scientific research suggests potential benefits. Studies indicate that compounds from Rosa ×odorata may have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, particularly through modulation of the NF-κB and Nrf2 pathways, which could be relevant for conditions like ulcerative colitis (UC). Additionally, flavonoids and other bioactive compounds in Rosa odorata var. gigantea show protective effects against stress-induced gastric injury by influencing inflammation, oxidative stress, and apoptosis. The variety of Rosa odorata also exhibits high levels of polyphenols, flavonoids, anthocyanins, carotenoids, and vitamin C, contributing to strong antioxidant activity. Furthermore, extracts from Rosa odorata have shown potential in inhibiting epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) signaling pathways relevant for chronic atrophic gastritis. To date, no significant safety concerns or recorded drug interactions have been identified with the use of Rosa ×odorata.
