Rose Oil :-
The world of Rose Oil
There are two Basic types of true Rose Oil
Rose Otto (true Rose Essential Oil, also known as Rose ATTAR is produced by a process of steam distillation, in which 3, 000 to 5, 000 KG of fresh flowers are needed to produce just 1 KG of Oil. The pure Oil ranges in color from various shades of pale yellow to olive yellow, and it congeals to a waxy thickness when cooled below room temperature. The fragrance is intense, deep, sweet, rosy-floral and tenacious. Certain fragrant components do not separate out from the distillation water, so the fragrance of Rose Otto, while absolutely exquisite, does not perfectly match that of the original flowers before distillation.
Rose Absolute (ABS. ) is produced by solvent extraction, with volatile solvents such as hexane. In a careful and professional process, all traces of solvent are removed from the final product. Extraction requires about 1, 000 KG of flowers to yield 1 KG of Absolute, and it is thus less expensive than Rose Otto. The Absolutes from different regions of the world range in color from amber yellow, bright orange to burgundy red, and olive green. It is a viscous liquid with a deep, rich, sweet, exquisite, rosy-spicy and honey-like fragrance. This product is a total extract that has the true and complete fragrance of the original flowers in fresh abundance.
History: Rose flowers are native to ancient Persia and other parts of Asia Minor. The Persians are credited by many historians with the discovery of Rose Otto, and were the first major producers in the 10th century. Merchants later brought Rose bushes to Bulgaria and Turkey. It is also speculated that Avicenna, the famous Arab physician, distilled the first Rose Otto. It was probably the very first Essential Oil he ever produced for his medical practice. Other historians say that the first Rose Oil was produced in India to celebrate the wedding of Shah Jahan, who built the Taj Mahal and Shalimar Gardens as a gift for his wife. It is also likely that the ancient Egyptians and Hebrews knew the secrets of distillation long before his time. Remains of Roses have been found in Egyptian tombs, and a red Rose is depicted at the 4, 000 year old palace at Knossos in Crete.
Botanical Names: The varieties Rosa damascena, Rosa centifolia, and a hybrid of Rosa centifolia with Rosa gallica, are used today to produce Rose Otto and Rose Absolute. From the huge family of more than ten thousand varieties of Roses, these three are the only varieties that will yield enough Oil to be commercially viable.
Rosa damascena Rose damaskis cultivated in Bulgaria and Turkey, and a small amount in India and other countries. Pink fragrant flowers.
Rosa centifolia / gallica Rose de Mai is cultivated primarily in Morocco, Egypt, India and a small amount in France. Large pink or rosy-purple fragrant flowers.
