\"Woman<\/a>Bulgarian Rose Damascena (Rosa damascena forma trigintipetala), <\/em>also known as Bulgarian Rose Otto is a beautiful and very rare type of rose.\u00a0 It is\u00a0 grown mainly in Bulgaria and Turkey as only in these two countries do the right growing conditions exist for any large production of this delicate flower.\u00a0\u00a0 In fact, Kazanluk, Bulgaria is known as “The Valley Of The Roses” because there are so many rose plants growing there.\u00a0 Can you imagine how it must smell!\u00a0 Ahhhhhh.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

As with any therapeutic grade herb, oil or other plant based product, it’s cultivation and preparation must be just so in order to retain the maximum amount of beneficial properties possible.\u00a0 Because this area of Blugaria and Turkey has been cultivating this unique species of rose for many many years, they’re experts at harvesting the flowers at the right time, as well as processing them correctly (steam distilled in copper kettles, etc) so that the beneficial properties of Rose Damascene are transferred to the oil in the highest concentrations possible.<\/p>\n
