There is evidence that the Rosaceae plant family is very ancient. 30-million-year-old rose fossils have been found in America. The earliest historical records on Mesopotamian cuneiform tablets show that the rose was known to humans about 5,000 years ago. Assyrian tablets mention rose and rose water. Of course, it is not possible to identify the types of roses discussed in these ancient texts, but their fragrance is praised. The cuneiform texts also show that roses were not distilled directly, but boiled with water to produce fragrant water. Damascus rose originates from the Middle East, and some evidence suggests that rose water originates from Iran, but its fragrant oils and extracts originate in Greece. It is believed that the coarse distillation of roses for oil began in the late 7th century AD and spread to the provinces in the late 14th century. The great physician Ibn-i Sina (11th century AD) was the first scientist to emphasize the beneficial effects of rose scent on the heart and brain; “It has a calming effect and is very beneficial for the heartbeat. It improves understanding and strengthens memory. It sharpens the senses, increases vitality.” The Persian Empire (Iran) was the main producer of rose oil until the 16th century and exported it all over the world.

For centuries, the rose has inspired artists to create masterpieces, and kings and sultans to set up gardens for their beauty and fragrance. Today the rose is grown all over the world, including Iran, Europe, Bulgaria, Turkey and India.

Rosaceae are well-known ornamental plants and are referred to as the king of flowers. Currently, more than 200 species of roses and more than 18,000 different forms of the plant have been identified. Besides being used as an ornamental plant in parks, gardens and homes, it is mainly grown for use in the perfume, pharmaceutical and food industries.

Rose water is the by-product of the steam distillation of rose petals to obtain rose oil. It contains a certain amount of rose oil, and therefore the beneficial components of rose oil. It is important to make sure that the product contains real natural rose oil, so it has benefits.

Rose water has traditionally been used in both beauty products and food and beverage products. It is fragrant and is sometimes used as a light natural fragrance as an alternative to chemical perfumes.

It offers many benefits thanks to the active ingredients it contains.
