This research was carried out in 2023 in four sites of Jableh countryside belonging to Latakia Governorate, namely in Bchile, Halabko, Al-Munizla and Bashraghi in order to identify some of the growth and fruiting characteristics of Rose Canina. The height of the Bush, the length, width and area of the Leaf, the productivity of the Bush from the fruits, with the average weight of the fruit and its content of vitamin C, carotenoids, phenolic compounds and titratable acidity were studied, the average number of seeds in the fruit was also studied. He used the analysis of complete randomness and analysis of variance with Duncan's test to show the significance of the differences between the averages of the sites. The results of the analysis of the variance showed that the trees in the Bashraghi site were the highest in terms of height, while the lowest tree height was in the Halabko site, and there were no significant differences in the leaf area between the sites, and the Bashraghi site exceeded in the productivity of the Bush (4.2 kg.plant-1) on the Halabko and Al-Munizla sites, while there were no significant differences in the average weight of the fruit, or its vitamin C content, as well as no significant differences in the content of fruits of carotenoids or total phenols and titratable acidity. As for the number of seeds in the fruit, the fruits of the trees of the Bchile site contained the largest number of seeds and the lowest was in the Al-Munizla site. It is advisable to take advantage of the fruits of the considered species for their richness in antioxidants and protection within their natural habitat.
