ROSES in Bulgaria保加利亞玫瑰

The Bulgarian Rose Valley  (The unpolluted Paradise)

保加利亞玫瑰谷 (無污染的樂土)

Bulgarian Rose Valley, the home of the exquisite Bulgarian rose oil , located between the Balkan mountains and Sredna Gora mountains. Geographically, it locates between two big rivers, Stryama to the west and Tundzha to the east, the land is extremely fertile and far from civilize pollution. 

 

The first roses were brought to Bulgaria by the soldiers of Alexander the Great. Immediately, they found that the climatic conditions in Bulgaria are far more favourable for the cultivation of roses than in Kashan (Persia). The roses grown in Bulgaria had higher percentage of oil and less stearoptene. Therefore, the quality is more superior than those grown in Kashan.

 

The remarkable climatic and unpolluted geographic conditions in Bulgaria accelerate the cultivation of the Bulgarian Rosa Damascena and its essential oil. The Bulgarian Rosa Damascena is cultivated for over 300 years and it provides nearly 85% of the rose oil in the world and it is considered to be the best rose oil in the world. 

保加利亞玫瑰谷位於巴爾幹山脈和斯雷那山脈群山之間。亦位於兩大河流,斯特里亞馬河和登薩河之間, 土地非常肥沃和遠離文明所帶來的污染。

第一朵被帶到保加利亞的大馬士革玫瑰是由亞歷山大大帝的軍隊帶來的。他們隨即發現,卡贊勒克的氣候條件遠比卡尚(波斯)更適合種植玫瑰。在這兒出產的玫瑰,不單止精油份量更多,鈉質和雜質也較少。因此,在卡贊勒克種出的玫瑰質素和所煉出的玫瑰精油比在卡尚更加出眾。

保加利亞玫瑰谷擁有優越的氣候和無污染的地理環境促使大馬士革玫瑰及其精油在保加利亞迅速發展。至今,大馬士革玫瑰已在保加利亞種植了300多年,它提供了全球接近 85% 的玫瑰精油,被公認為是世界上最好的玫瑰精油。

獨特的種植方法

An unique planting method called “kesme” is adopted in planting the Bulgarian Rosa Damascena. It helps to preserve the original character of the rose and maintain the highest quality of the oil. No other cultivation method has been adopted over the past three centuries. 

 

保加利亞採用了一種獨特的方法 “kesme” 種植大馬士革玫瑰。這方法不僅保存玫瑰應有的形態,亦同時把精油的品質推至最高。直至今日, 保加利亞人仍然採用這種已流傳了三百年的傳統種植方法。
