Damask Rose Flower Powder (Rosa damascena Mill.)

Damask rose flower powder is a fine natural product obtained by milling carefully dried flowers of Rosa damascena Mill. The species is accepted in World Flora Online as Rosa damascena Mill. from the Rosaceae family.

Damask rose flowers are valuable raw material due to their natural floral aroma, pink botanical shade and bioactive compounds. Unlike bud powder, which is made from unopened buds and may have a denser aromatic character, flower powder is made from opened flower material. Compared with petal-only powder, it is a broader rose flower raw material and is suitable for products requiring balanced aroma, colour and botanical profile. Comparative data on buds and petals report similar citronellol content, higher phenylethyl alcohol presence in buds and a higher swelling index in petals.
