The taxonomic composition of the genus Chaenomeles L. was determined in the conditions of the Sochi Black sea region. Morphological and biological description was made and fruiting was evaluated for 19 taxa. Decorative cultivars Ch. japonica, Ch. speciosa, Ch. × superba, Ch. × vilmoriniana are of interest for cultivation in the humid subtropical zone of Russia. Fruit cultivars are not represented. Ch. sinensis is recommended as a fruit crop of Chaenomeles and a promising form of Ch. × superba has been identified. The cultivar Ch. speciosa ‘ Kermesina ' is universal and recommended for use in both gardening and fruit growing.
