The
rose,
queen
of
flowers
is
one
of
the
symbols
of
Bulgaria.
For
centuries
Bulgarians
have
planted
roses,
picked
their
flowers
and
extracted
their
heavenly
essence
-
attar
of
roses.
The
rose,
this
marvellous
gift
of
the
land,
is
admired
and
used
in
perfumery,
pharmacy
and
food
industry.
The
Valley
of
Roses
near
town
of
Kazanluk
is
one
of
the
biggest
producers
of
rose
oil
in
the
world.
The
soil
and
the
climate
in
this
region
are
quite
suitable
for
the
roses.
The
conditions
in
Kazanlak
proved
to
be
more
favourable
for
the
cultivation
of
the
rose
than
those
in
its
own
country
of
origin
-
Tunisia.
This
is
specifically
valid
for
the
rainfalls.
The
air
humidity,
cloudiness
and
precipitation
in
May
and
June
contributed
to
obtain
roses
yielding
high
percentage
of
oil.
The
Rose
Valley
is
not
a
geographical
name
- it
is
just
a
notion,
associated
with
the
location
where
the
Bulgarian
oil-bearing
rose
grows.
The
valley
altitude
is
710
m at
his
highest
point
Klisoura.
The
climate
in
the
Rose
Valley
is
transitional
between
moderately
continental
and
transitional
continental. |
