Abstract
The research was carried out in four sites in the mountains of Jableh area, which is affiliated with Latakia Governorate, Syria (Bchile, Halabkou, Bshraghi, and Manizala), with the aim of performing a Morphology description of some types of Rosa canina. Trees were taken from each site and each tree was considered a type, and 35 traits related to the vegetative total, flowers and fruits. Cluster analysis was used to determine the degree of kinship based on the characteristics of the vegetative group, the flowers and the fruits separately, and then all the characteristics combined. The study found a difference in the characteristics of the vegetative total, and the specifications of the fruits. There were no differences in the specifications of the studied flowers, whether between the types of the same site or between the sites. All the studied types had single flowers in light pink color, and the diameter of the flower was small and the shape of the flower chair was spherical. All the types studied had thorns on the branches that differed in their density and size, and the overall cluster analysis showed that the types within the same location were closest to each other compared to the rest of the sites, especially the types of the site of Bshraghi. We recommend taking care of this species and protecting it in its natural habitats, and creating gene pools for distinct types.
