The plant is commonly known as a Chinese rose or shoe flower. The plant is distributed in the tropical and sub-tropical regions of the world and crossing has led to a large number of cultivars with varying patterns in size, shape, and colour. This chapter provides a comprehensive analysis of the distribution, traditional uses, phytochemical composition, and diverse biological activities associated with the flowers of this ornamental plant. The flowers have played a significant role in various traditions, as a remedy for various ailments and as a source of food. A rich profile of bioactive compounds was observed during phytochemical phytochemical investigations. These bioactive compounds included anthocyanins, flavonols, flavan-3-ols, flavanonols, flavanone, flavones, other phenolic compounds, essential oil, etc. which contributed to the medicinal properties of the flowers. The flower extracts demonstrated various biological activities like Hypolipidemic, Cardioprotective, Hypotensive, Anticancer, Antidiabetic, Cytotoxicity, Antimutagenic, Larvicidal, Anti-inflammatory, Anticonvulsive, Wound Healing, Hepatoprotective, Antioxidant, Antimicrobial, Antifertility, Antispermatogenic, antipyretic among other activities. This chapter bridges ethnopharmacological knowledge with scientific research, showcasing the potential of H. rosa-sinensis flowers in the development of novel therapeutic drugs as well as natural product development. 2026 Hosakatte Niranjana Murthy.
