Abstract

Achenes of 36 species representing all subgenera and sections of the genus Rosa were studied. All have stomata on the pericarp that seem to be normal in appearance. They are usually few, scattered, mostly on the upper part of fruit, and open or closed. This is the first report of stomata on fruits of Rosa.
