Bulgaria is famous with its beautiful nature and unique traditions. The popular oil-bearing rose has become an inseperable part of the history and culture of Bulgaria.
Rose Valley is an area that covers a little over 1,200 square miles of land, is spread out over the Karlovo and Kazanlak fields and a part of the Nova Zagora Fields. The valley is famous for its rose growing industry and it is one of the Bulgarian symbols. The rose Rosa Damascene has been cultivated here for centuries, from which by distillation and other processes is obtained rose oil, which is widely used in pharmacy, perfumery and others.
A Rose Festival is held each year in the town of Kazanlak, where a beautiful girl is elected “Queen Rose,” followed by rose picking, street parades and local folk dancing.
