英语词汇dog rose的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

词汇	dog rose
词源	dog rose. The wild, hardy dog rose (Rosa canina, called cy- norrodon by Pliny) is said to have been so named because the Romans thought that eating the flower cured the rabid bites of wild dogs. But then the Romans also believed that shortening a dog’s tail was a preventative for rabies, and the Greeks thought that dogs could cure many diseases by licking patients. Today the dog rose is more realistically valued for the high vitamin-C content of its “hips.”
