The origin of roses?

The origin of rose has been cherished by people since ancient times because of its charming fragrance, beautiful flower shape and bright color. It was introduced to Europe very early. In the Middle Ages, Europeans took advantage of its medical value and planted it in the garden of a monastery. In the18th century, ancient rose varieties were the most precious. 18 16, the first perennial hybrid rose-Duroi rose appeared, and then a variety of new roses appeared. Since before the French Revolution, the French have been distilling roses until today. At that time, the main purpose was to extract the world-famous rose pure dew, but the essential oil was a by-product. 1987 The world output of rose essential oil was 15 ~ 20 tons. Bulgaria was the largest producer at that time, while the United States was the main importer. Other countries producing essential oils are Turkish, French, Moroccan, Indian and China. Bulgaria planted "Damascus Rose" (actually: Turkish Rose) and distilled the rose essential oil. The rose essential oil produced by Berger is also "Bulgarian rose" (actually: Turkish rose). Most of the oil-containing parts are petals, but stamens also contain some oil, which can be added to the petals for extraction. France, on the other hand, uses volatile solvents to extract the raw materials of wild rose ("Chiba Rose"). 1888, "Damascus Rose" was planted in Miltitz near Leipzig. It has been planted in Anatolia, Turkey since 1894. Today, there are many wineries to visit all over Turkey. Solvent extraction of essential oil in Bulgaria began in 1904, and this extraction method has become very common since then. Damascus roses are planted in many places in the Balkans, with a height of 300-800 meters. Many experts claim that this "soaring" rose essential oil is better than the roses on the flat ground. 193 1 year, Russia began to grow "roses", especially in Crimea and Transcaucasia. A variety called Novinka can even survive in the harsh environment of ultra-low temperature. In just four to six weeks, Morocco distilled 4,000 to 5,000 tons of Damascus roses. With modern distillation, they can extract 150 tons a day, some of which are extracted by distillation and the rest by solvent.
