The present work aimed to analyse the variability of some genotypes of Rosa canina L. from some forest ecosystems located in the southern area of Olt County. Nine rosehip genotypes were subjected to the study, in which the morphological variability of the fruit was analysed starting from the dimensional and weight characteristics. It was found that there is a high variability between genotypes, highlighted by the Coefficient of Variability for weight (CV% = 32.86), height (CV% = 12.61), small fruit diameter (CV% = 12.47), and large fruit diameter (CV% = 12.33). The high existing variability is an essential factor through the presence of these genotypes and their usefulness as a sustainable resource in diversifying the fruit tree material.
