Rose Oil Bulgaria Rosa damascena

Description
Rose oil is regarded as one of the most traditional and premium essential oils in aromatherapy and perfumery today.
The rose blossoms of Rosa damascena begin to bloom in Bulgaria around the third week of May, and will continue for three or four weeks depending upon weather conditions. Yields can be highly volatile depending on the conditions during this short period of time. For example, any extreme heat could result in a yield loss as the oil will evaporate just like other floral oils.
Harvesting begins as the rose flowers begin to open and are still collected by hand, usually early in the morning. Today this time old tradition is one of the most wonderful sights to see in our industry.
Currently, our growing partners offer highly modern distillation facilities where oil recovery is at its optimum but still on average, Rosa damascena will only yield 1 kilo of oil per 3,500 - 4,000 kilos of flowers!!

Latest Market Information August 1, 2024
Rose generally flourishes at higher elevations, anywhere between 1500m and above. Though it can also be grown in plains with fertile loamy soil and salt-free irrigation water, the ideal temperature range for rose growth is between 15°C and 28°C. Unfavourable weather has impacted the yield. The quality of the crop is still under evaluation. While the harvest started earlier than expected in April, a lack of pickers continues to be a problem. All these factors have made the price of petals volatile. It is early to predict, but expectations of price and quality are similar to 2023. We expect the price to remain stable over the next six months. There is growing interest in the market for rose water, rose absolute, and rose concrete.
