History of rose oil

History of rose oil

Today we have prepared for you the history of rose oil...

In 1670, Rosa Damascena was transferred from Damascus (Syria), from where its name comes, to Bulgaria. In Bulgaria – in the Kazanlak and Karlovo valleys, the plant transferred from Asia finds extremely high-quality and good conditions for its growth – sandy soil, mild air, protection of the valley by the Stara planina and Sredna gora mountains from northern winds.

Valley of Roses

By "Valley of Roses" or "Rose Valley" we mean the area of the Karlovo and Kazanlak valleys, where over 80% of rose oil is produced in Bulgaria. These include some regions of Stara and Nova Zagora, Hisaria.

Rose

The first written records of rose seedlings date back to 1712. Rose seedlings are planted in the autumn, in the months of October and November. A Rose garden planted in this way yields flowers for processing after three years of cultivation. One of the main, important and most necessary conditions for the quality growth of oil-bearing roses is rain in the spring months of May and June, because then the "giulpan (distillery, where rose oil is produced) gives the most rose oil"... The rose harvest begins in mid-May and lasts until the end of the first half of June. The rose flower harvest itself starts around 4 am and lasts until 10:00 am at the latest. That is when the rose is of the highest quality for harvesting and processing. Rose flowers picked in the afternoon lose 50% of their rose oil content.
