“…The antioxidant power of biomolecules is an expression of their capability to defend from the actions of the free radicals and to prevent degeneration from oxidants. Plants of the Rosaceae family are rich in phytochemicals with a promising chemical structure for various biological activities, including anti-radical scavenging and antioxidant effects [ 17 , 20 , 25 , 110 , 111 , 112 , 113 , 114 , 115 ]. Three main types of assays are widely used in the study of the antioxidant activities of rose extracts: (i) tests for electron and/or radical scavenging and metal ion chelating (most in vitro); (ii) tests for the inhibition of lipid peroxidation (LP) (in vivo and in vitro); and (iii) tests of the influence of antioxidant enzyme activities (in vivo and in vitro) ( Table 4 ).…”

Plants from the Rosacea family are rich in natural molecules with beneficial biological properties, and they are widely appreciated and used in the food industry, perfumery, and cosmetics. In this review, we are considering Rosa damascena Mill., Rosa alba L., Rosa centifolia L., and Rosa gallica L. as raw materials important for producing commercial products, analyzing and comparing the main biological activities of their essential oils, hydrolates, and extracts. A literature search was performed to find materials describing (i) botanical characteristics; (ii) the phytochemical profile; and (iii) biological properties of the essential oil sand extracts of these so called “old roses” that are cultivated in Bulgaria, Turkey, India, and the Middle East. The information used is from databases PubMed, Science Direct, and Google Scholar. Roses have beneficial healing properties due to their richness of beneficial components, the secondary metabolites as flavonoids (e.g., flavones, flavonols, anthocyanins), fragrant components (essential oils, e.g., monoterpenes, sesquiterpenes), and hydrolysable and condensed tannins. Rose essential oils and extracts with their therapeutic properties—as respiratory antiseptics, anti-inflammatories, mucolytics, expectorants, decongestants, and antioxidants—are able to act as symptomatic prophylactics and drugs, and in this way alleviate dramatic sufferings during severe diseases.

“…Nerol can decrease the liver damage induced by carbon-tetrachloride (CCl 4 ) [73]. These compounds with good antioxidant and antiradical scavenging activity [19] can suppress DNA injuries. A previous study found that geraniol manifests well-expressed anti-cytotoxic and anti-genotoxic potential against MNNG in both barley and lymphocyte cells [49].…”

Rosa centifolia L. and Rosa gallica L. (Rosaceae) are grown as raw materials for valuable essential oils and hydrosols. There are scarce data about the biological activities and the genoprotective potential of the hydrosols of these roses. The aim of the study was to provide information on their cytotoxic/genotoxic activity and anti-cytotoxic/anti-genotoxic capacity against mutagenic N-methyl-N′-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine (MNNG). The evaluation was performed using classical tests for chromosomal aberrations and micronuclei in the higher plant Hordeum vulgare and human lymphocyte test systems. The experimental schemes included combined hydrosol and mutagen treatment. Both hydrosols (6, 14, 20%) had no cytotoxic effect on barley and showed low genotoxicity in both test systems as the injuries were enhanced to a lesser extent compared to the controls. Lymphocytes were more susceptible than H. vulgare. Under the conditions of combined treatment, it was found that the two hydrosols possessed good anti-cytotoxic and anti-genotoxic potential against MNNG. Both rose products exerted genoprotective potential to a similar extent, decreasing the frequencies of aberrations in chromosomes and micronuclei to a significant degree in both types of cells when non-toxic concentrations of hydrosols were applied before MNNG. This was performed both with and without any inter-treatment time. The observed cytoprotective/genoprotective potential suggests that these hydrosols are promising for further application in phytotherapy and medicine.

“…at all tested concentrations. On the basis of above findings, it is concluded that Rosa alba L. could be used as supplementary material with antioxidants in oxidative stress condition [20]. Piotr Brzezinski and Lorenzo Martini (2019) have reported in their letter to the editor that the antiradical capacity of Rosa alba L. is 72 μg/ml at the concentrations of 100 μg/ml.…”

“…Pure geraniol and citronellol are better antimicrobial agents than rose hydrosol. In the plant, biogenesis of geraniol and citronellol occurs through the mevalonic acid pathway [20,25]. Significant changes in the content and composition of essential oil of Rosa alba L. were observed when it was investigated at various stages of its flowers development.…”

Background Rosa alba L. belongs to the family Rosaceae. This species is widely cultivated in Europe, Asia, North America, and Northwest Africa due to its fragrance, ornamental, and medicinal values. It is commonly known as white oil-bearing rose, white rose, white rose of York, backyard rose, and sufaid gulab. Main text Rosa alba L. has many biological properties like antioxidant, antimicrobial, antifungal, antifertility, teratogenic, memory enhancing, cytotoxic, and genotoxic activities. The essential oil of Rosa alba L. possesses good antimicrobial activity and consists of many chemical constituents like- citronellol, geraniol, nerol, linalool, citral, carvacrol, eugenol, etc. Conclusion This article briefly reviews the cultivation, traditional uses, phytochemistry, and biological activities of Rosa alba L. Many research papers have been published on the proposed plant and still, there is a very vast scope of research on it. Therefore, this review will be very fruitful for those scientists who are doing or plan to do research work on this plant. All the scientific findings written in this review are explored from Google web, Google Scholar, PubMed, ScienceDirect, Medicinal and Aromatic Plants Abstracts (MAPA), and SciFinder. To date, it is the first systematic review article of such kind, on this plant.
