During the rose-harvesting season, the Ministry of Agriculture for the first time will start identification of oil-bearing rose plantations in Bulgaria. The type of plantations will be checked to see how many of the areas are planted with the varieties of Rosa damascena and Rosa alba traditional for Bulgaria. Both varieties guarantee the preservation of the quality of the Bulgarian rose oil.
