Abstract
Depending on the taxonomist, between 150 to 300 rose species are distinguished, only 10-20 of these contributed to the most of the modern rose cultivars, Many of the unexploited rose species may contain valuable genes and traits of interest which could be used for extending the present genetic diversity in breeding stock materials. As a fundamental rose breeding program, wild rose species were collected from different region of Iran. They include: Rosa persica, R. foetida, R. pimpinellifolia, R. hemisphaerica, R. canina, R. iberica, R.damascena, R. beggeriana, R.orientalis, R.pulverulenta, R.vilosa and R.elymaitica. Morphological characteristics of these species were evaluated. For examining the genetic relationship between wild species, microsatellite markers are going to be used. furthermore a phylogenetic study will be conducted on these species. It should be mentioned that it is a long lasting rose breeding program and this is a first step.
