Rosa damascena is the most widely used rose variety in perfumery. The main rose producing countries are Turkey, Bulgaria and Morocco. The bushes bloom once a year, from May to June. The flowers are picked by hand, then distilled or extracted within 24 hours. One hectare (2.5 acres) of land can produce 3.5 to 5 tons of blossoms, yielding about 1 kg of oil.
