Bulgarian Rose Oil

Rosa Damascena hails from the Rosaceae family and can be described as a woody, recurrent, blossoming plant. The leaves in the majority of species are 2 to 5.9 in (5-15 cm) in length, pinnate, and having basal stipules and leaflets. Most of the roses are deciduous but some, originating in South East Asia, are evergreen.
