Abstract
Rosa cymosa is a traditional medicinal and ornamental plant in China. Here, we report the complete chloroplast genome of R. cymosa. The chloroplast genome is 156,607 bp in length with 37.48% GC content, containing a small single-copy (SSC) region (18,763 bp), a large single-copy (LSC) region (85,722 bp), and a pair of inverted repeats (IRs: 26,061 bp each). A total of 139 genes were predicted, including 92 protein-coding genes, eight ribosomal RNA genes, and 39 tRNA genes. Phylogenetic analysis based on chloroplast genomes of 16 plant species shows that R. cymosa is closest to R. chiensis ‘Old Bush’ and R. lucidissima. These complete chloroplast genomes can be subsequently used for researches of Rosaceae.
