The damask rose originated in Syria, and despite its name is mainly grown in Morocco, Bulgaria and Turkey. It can grow in the wild in cooler climates, but also in southern regions.
The rose is the queen of flowers and has been a symbol of love since ancient times, providing a constant source of fascination. In most cultures, roses symbolise love, purity and passion.
Damask roses are well known for the strong fragrance of their petals, which is particularly intense before sunrise. Fresh petals should be used for the highest-quality hydrosol and essential oil. The essential oil produced from the damask rose is perhaps the rarest to come from the Rosaceae family. As well as its fabulous perfume, the oil has valuable cosmetic properties for the skin.
