Twelve F1BC1 hybrids obtained by crossing R. rugosa Plena with the variety Abelzieds and backcrossing to Abelzieds were studied during 1973-77 at the Botanical Garden of the Latvian Academy of Sciences. The hybrids had a high content of vitamin C in the dry hips (2778-5680 mg/100 g) and most of them exceeded their parents in total phenols in the hips (3200-4900 mg/100 g).
