Six native species and one native hybrid of roses were found there (1 from the Pimpinellifoliae section and 6 from the Caninae section) and their 13 varieties. The most numerous among them are Rosa canina var. dumalis Baker and R. ¡Á subcanina (H. Christ) R. Keller. Such great diversity of species and varieties insuch a small area (only 20.2 ha) proves considerable floristic richness, and occurrence of habitats preferred by roses. %K Rosa %K Rosaceae %K taxonomic revision %K Low Tatras National Park %K Carpathians %K Slovakia %U http://phytomorphology.org/PDF/MP1/01011014.pdf
