Queen among flowers!
Delightful to the eye, but also to the skin! It is rightly considered the queen of flowers and you have encountered it in many fairy tales. It even had one of the main roles in the beloved "Little Prince," who was willing to die to reunite with it! You guessed it right - this article will revolve solely around the rose.
The Brightest Star of the Garden!
Roses are not among the classic herbs used for culinary or medicinal purposes, but they adorn gardens primarily due to their renowned beauty and fragrance. Through roses, one can express love, friendship, celebrate life milestones, and they can stir the coldest of hearts, making them a favorite among perfumers!
They come in many forms, colors, and there are over 8,000 species worldwide. Among the rarest is the Damask rose (Bulgarian), which contains a large amount of essential oils and is used to produce the famous rose oil. To produce 1 kg of genuine oil, 3 tons of petals must be processed and collected, which naturally reflects in the product's price. The oil has regenerative effects and is widely used in cosmetics for mature skin.
It can effectively cleanse and soothe inflamed mucous membranes of the respiratory tract and digestive system. The fragrance has a beneficial effect on the entire organism and harmonizes the psyche. The highest concentration of valuable substances is found in the dark red petals (regardless of the variety). They contain a large amount of valuable flavonoids, fragrant essential oils, waxes, and tannins.
Enjoy your meal!
From a teaspoon of crushed rose petals (fresh/dried), you can prepare a delicious tea that has a beneficial effect and smells irresistible! It will win you over even more when sweetened with honey. You can also use it to decorate various desserts, cocktails, and rose petals can be added to jams and honeys.

Make Rose Syrup!
Place 2 handfuls of dried flowers in a container and pour ½ liter of boiling water over them. Cover with a lid and let steep until the next day. Then strain the liquid, bring it to a boil, and add the same amount of honey. Pour the syrup into bottles and store it in a cool place. You can add it to coffee, tea, or simply drink it diluted with water!
