Rose of Damascus (Rosa Damascena)

The Damask Rose, or Rosa Damascena and also known by other names such as the Bulgarian Rose, Damascene Rose, Otto Rose, Attar Rose or Absolute Rose, is a shrubby plant belonging to the Rose family. It was first discovered in Damascus, in ancient Syria, from where it also derives its name. This rose is generally valued for its strongly scented flowers, which can be of various colours from pale pink to deep purple. The plant grows to a height of 2.2 metres and is known for its resistance to frost and its ability to grow even in poor soils.

The Damask rose is inherently associated with the production of rose essential oil and rose water, which are important components of perfumery and cosmetics. This rose has been the basic raw material for the production of these fragrances for centuries. Damask rose balm is used in aromatherapy and the flowers are also used in gastronomy, particularly in oriental desserts and drinks. Even medicine uses extracts of this rose - its anti-inflammatory and antiseptic properties are used in the pharmaceutical industry. The Damask rose is therefore used in a wide range of fields, demonstrating its exceptional versatility and worldwide importance.
