It is cultivated for commercial use in an area in the vicinity of Kazanlak and Karlovo in Bulgaria called the \"Valley of Roses\". The distillate from these roses is called \"Bulgarian rose oil\" and \"Bulgarian rose otto\".\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe roses are a light to moderate pink to light red. The relatively small flowers grow in groups. The bush has an informal shape.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDamask roses are used in cooking as a flavouring ingredient or spice. They are an ingredient in the spice mixture denominated ras el hanout. Rose water and powdered roses are used in Middle Eastern and Indian cuisine. Rose water is often sprinkled on meat dishes, while rose powder is added to sauces. Chicken with rose is a popular dish in Middle Eastern cuisine. Whole flowers, or petals, are also used in the herbal tea zuhurat. The most popular use, however, is in the flavoring of desserts such as ice cream, jam, Turkish delights, rice pudding, yogurt, etc.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor centuries, the Damask rose has symbolized beauty and love. The fragrance of the rose has been captured and preserved in the form of rose water by a method that can be traced to ancient times in the Middle East and later to the Indian subcontinent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsing: Place 1-2 teaspoons of dried rose buds and leaves in a teapot or a heat-resistant container. Heat water to just below boiling point (around 200°F (93°C)) and pour it over the buds. Boiling water can scorch delicate petals and diminish the flavor. Cover the container and let the rose buds steep for 5-10 minutes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!--mh-notes-start--\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTraditional Use\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTea made from Bulgarian rose petals has a delicate floral taste and a comforting feeling.
