NUMERICAL TAXONOMY OF THE GENUS ROSA L. (ROSACEAE) GROWN IN THE KURDISTAN REGION OF IRAQ

The presented research aimed to study the numerical taxonomy of genus Rosa L. and identify differentiate its various species grown in different regions Kurdistan, Iraq. This proceeded 2021–2022 season at College Education Pure Science, University Mosul, Forty morphological quantitative qualitative characteristics, including vegetative reproductive traits (leaves, flowers, fruits, seeds, pollen grains), gained taxonomic analysis. From there, selection 12 features finally drew polygonal shapes for concerned species. analysis revealed owned significant variations these forms. similarity among ranged between 0.5% 91.0%, highest level (91.0%) occurred two canina var. ‘canina,’ ‘verticillacantha,’ lowest (0.05%) emerged from R. elyamaitica dumalis subsp. boissieri. cluster analysis, UPGMA dendrogram separated 13 into three main groups subgroups. first groups, divided subgroups, included ‘dumetorum,’ ‘deseglisei,’ dumas second eiyamaitica heckeliana orientalis. subgroup gallica, centifolia, damascena. Moreover, third group foetida, foetida bicolor, hemisphareaca.
