Rose multiflora var. cathayensis was found to contain eugenol (22.8%) and 2-phenylethanol (18.1%) as main components of the floral absolute oil.

Main components of the petroleum ether fraction of R. multiflora Thunb. hips were acids like dodecanoic acid (8.7%), hexadecanoic acid (9.2%), linoleic acid (26.0%), oleic acid (22.5), and stearic acid (6.3%). Olfactorly interesting are linalool (2.3%) and methyleugenol (1.8%).
„The petroleum ether fraction (PEF) was identified to be the active fraction in inflammation animal models… Down-regulating COX-2 expression and reducing NO production through inhibiting iNOS activity may be the partial mechanism of the action of PEF. GC–MS analysis indicated enriched unsaturated fatty acids may be responsible for the anti-inflammatory activity of PEF and this herb. This study provided pharmacological and chemical basis for the application of the hip of R. multiflora Thunb. in inflammatory disorders.“

Main volatiles of the flower scent of R.multiflora var. cathayensis were citronellol (41.9%), 2-phenylethanol (15.6%), and α-pinene (13.4%).
[Ajun, Guo, and Li Limin. „Composition and antibacterial effect of volatile organic compounds of Rosa multiflora var. cathayensis.“ Journal of Northeast Forestry University (2016): 11]

Rosa multiflora flowers predominantly produce 2-phenylethanol but not 3,5-dimethoxytoluene (DMT) or 1,3,5-trimethoxybenzene (TMB).
„Although several genes encoding linalool, nerolidol, or α-pinene synthase homologues were found here, these compounds are not known to produce in R. multiflora flowers.“
[Nakamura, Noriko, et al. „Genome structure of Rosa multiflora, a wild ancestor of cultivated roses.“ Dna Research 25.2 (2018): 113-121]

The volatiles released by Rosa multiflora flowers were mainly geranyl acetate and phenylethyl acetate.
