The ethyl acetate extract of Rosa centifolia was administered orally to evaluate the immunostimulant activity against azathioprine induced immunosuppression. Evaluation was done by measuring the changes in hematological and enzymatic parameters. Results of all parameters exhibited immunostimulatory activity in Rosa centifolia.
