The optimum daytime temperature for Damascus rose is 18~25°C, the night temperature is 10~15°C, and the relative humidity is 70%~80%. Plants can be seen in the same year when the conditions are appropriate. Flowering once a year, must go through the dormant period in May of the second year to grow flower buds from the old branches, the relative domestic old varieties of roses can reach 7-8 times a year, flowering is almost unrestricted by our country; and France Chiba rose flowering branches, only flowering once, the old branches no longer bloom in the coming year, and new branches must be bred every year, so the flower production is lower. In 1984, China's Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation Commission introduced Bulgarian rose seedlings from Bulgaria in batches and tested them in different regions such as Guangdong, Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Yunnan and Shaanxi, due to climate, hydrology and geological conditions. The Bulgarian Damascus rose was successfully awarded and was named Qinjing No. 1 - Damascus Rose. At the same time, the first generation of Damascus special essential oil extraction equipment was born in Weinan, Shaanxi. The Qinhuang No. 1 - Damascus Rose is about 2,000 acres, and the extracted essential oil meets the iso9842-2003 international standard. From the experience and technical data of cultivation for many years, the suitable area for the Damascus rose in Bulgaria is 30-40 degrees north latitude and the lowest temperature in winter is not less than 15 degrees.
In particular, Damascus Rose Oil is considered to be the best of Rose Oil. Damascus rose contains more than 300 kinds of chemical ingredients (such as citronellol, geraniol and other hundreds of aromatic substances, organic acids and other beneficial materials), as well as 18 kinds of amino acids and trace elements needed by the human body.

International
Bulgaria is known as the "Country of Roses", and the place where the Bulgarian rose is abundant is in the Kazanlak region in the east. From the end of the 1960s, on the first Sunday of June every year, Kazanlak will hold a rose festival. Unfortunately, this time I went to Bulgaria in late May, and I passed by the Rose Festival. I can only listen to the locals about how exciting the annual Rose Festival is. How do you dress up and attend, don’t see the Rose Festival, or some Unfortunately.
The Rose Valley of Kazanlak is the most concentrated area of local rose cultivation. To go to Bulgaria, a pro-rose Fangze, must be here. Unlike the roses we usually see, the Bulgarian roses are Damascus rose varieties, mostly pale pink. The roses are of the highest quality, the flowers are large and fragrant, and the most important use of roses is to extract. rose oil. I have long heard that Bulgarian rose oil is the main raw material for high-grade perfumes. It is said that the price in the international market has reached RMB 40,000 per kilogram. This time in Rose Valley, I finally saw the original state of this "liquid gold". . A large number of hillsides have been planted with endless roses. They have not yet reached the best season, some have bloomed in advance, and more are still waiting to be released. Not all of this rose valley is planted with the same variety of Damascus roses. There are other varieties of red roses in the middle of it, looking far away like a large colorful garden, quite shocking.
Admire the beauty of the Damascus Rose in the Rose Valley gardens and walk to the exquisite Rose Museum in the valley to learn about the Bulgarian rose. The museum is small, and it tells the history of Bulgaria's cultivation of roses for hundreds of years. It also displays some farming tools, which are used by local people to extract oil. The high-grade rose oil is still extracted in this ancient way. To ensure the quality of rose oil.
The area of rose cultivation in Turkey is also constantly expanding and is expected to replace Bulgaria as the world's number one rose cultivation country. In addition, the rose industry in Morocco, France and other countries is also developing rapidly. From the perspective of cultivars, Bulgaria is mainly based on the Rosa Damascna series, while France and Morocco are mainly based on the Rosa Centfolia series.

In terms of rose essential oil extraction, Damascus rose oil is as high as 3.6 parts per million, which is higher than most rose varieties. The essential oil of Chinese rose extract has a waxy taste and is not popular with the international market. For example, Pingyin rose oil, the flower aroma is not enough, even a little bit of gas and nose smell; bitter rose oil contains more citronellol and incense Leaf alcohol, etc., its oil and gas is more obvious. However, the rose cultivated in our country also has its own characteristics, that is, it has a sweet fragrance, and the first fragrance is elegant and elegant, and it can smell the rich rose aroma. The Bulgarian Damascus rose belongs to the international scent type, and the essential oils produced by the two roses of the French Chiba rose are basically the same, but each has its own merits. The former has a better aroma; the latter has a lighter aroma, but it works better in promoting sexual function, sedation and sterilization.
Due to its complex composition, rose essential oil cannot be artificially synthesized at home and abroad. As far as the market is concerned, the amount of rose essential oil used in China is only about 200 kg per year. The output is very small and the market is very empty. According to the calculations of the authoritative department (National Aroma Committee), the market demand is based on flowers, the market demand is 300,000 tons, and the national market supply is less than 100,000 tons, and with the development of the deep processing industry and the improvement of living standards, and external The increase in trade volume, although the planting area continues to expand, but in the short term still can not meet the needs of market development, the market prospects are broad.
The extraction process of rose essential oil is a key link in determining the quality of essential oils, and it is also a very important part in the process of promoting the development of Damascus roses. From the time and part of picking the petals to the storage container to the extraction equipment and technology, each link is strictly controlled, and the best petals are completely sealed, and the highest quality rose oil can be extracted through purely physical means. . The whole extraction process can be divided into four steps: picking, extraction, separation and storage. Even with high-quality plant materials, the bio-genetic DNA strands become unstable during the extraction process, which is prone to breakage or variability, resulting in the natural plant's own efficacy being weakened or lost due to changes in DNA during the extraction process. The purity of quality. To this end, a new technology for extracting rose essential oil from enzyme preparations has been developed internationally. The use of fresh rose raw materials and advanced compound enzyme preparations has improved the proportion of ingredients of international characteristics, and the extraction efficiency of essential oils is higher. More excellent and stable. The extraction processing equipment used to extract the top Damascus rose oil seems to be simple. In fact, the design of each part has special considerations. The humidity control, temperature control and pipe arrangement of each part of the equipment are all for Damascus. The quality of rose essential oil plays a decisive role. Without the personal supervision of the extraction experts, the best Damascus rose essential oil can not be obtained by relying only on advanced extraction processing equipment. At present, the most advanced equipment for extracting and processing rose oil is made in France. In the use of advanced equipment, it is also necessary to use the ancient distillation process to pour Damascus rose petals and water (multi-purpose spring water) into a large tank (distiller) at a ratio of 1:5 or 1:4 and cook for 3 hours on the fire. The steam generated after boiling is injected into the large bottle through the top distillation tube. After cooling and other processes, the Damascus rose essential oil floating on the surface is transferred into the dark bottle. This is the first distillation process, usually in this process. In the process, the ratio of the amount of petals used to the amount of essential oil produced is 10000: 2-4; after that, the first distillation of the remaining Damascus rose water is subjected to a second distillation, so that 1 kg of Damascus rose essential oil is needed. 3000 kg rose petals. In this process, it is necessary to reduce the strong fire at an appropriate time, and continue to distill with a small fire, and the cooler is cooled with running water, so that the extracted Damascus rose essential oil can present the most perfect quality.
