Abstract

Five phenolic compounds have been isolated from the stems and leaves of Rosa rugosa Thunb. (Rosaceae) in Korea. They were methyl gallate and catechin from the stems, and quercetin, methyl gallate and hyperin from the leaves respectively. The structures were established by spectroscopic and chemical methods.
