Rosa damascena, commonly known as Damask Rose, is an erect shrub that grows up to 2 meters in height and produces a mass of pink to rosy-purple flowers. The rose is extensively cultivated in countries like Bulgaria, France, and Turkey, and in India, rose cultivation is carried out over approximately 10,000–12,000 hectares.
We offer pure and high-quality rose oil, extracted through careful distillation processes.

Distillation of Rose Oil:
After harvesting, roses are immediately taken to the distillation plant. To prevent loss of oil in case of delay, flowers can be: Spread at low temperatures and sprayed with water, or Immersed in water tanks, which can later be used in distillation. In India, three primary distillation methods are used:
Deg and Bhapka Method (Hydro-Distillation)
Traditional equipment made of copper includes a round kettle (deg) and a receiver (bhapka), connected via bamboo (chonga). The receiver is placed in a small water tank to condense the vapor. Capacity: 50–100 kg flowers per batch; Duration: 6–8 hours Oil recovery: 0.01–0.015%
Direct Fired Distillation Unit (Hydro-Steam Distillation)
- Consists of a kettle (still), column, condenser, and receiver, made of copper or stainless steel.
- Capacity: 100–200 kg flowers per batch; Duration: 4–6 hours Includes "cohobation" to recycle condensate and improve oil recovery.
- Cost: ₹2.5–3.0 lakhs (if stainless steel)
Boiler Operated Unit (Steam Distillation)
- Modern and suitable for large-scale production
- Includes distillation unit and cohobation unit for complete oil recovery
- Duration: 4–5 hours
- Oil recovery: 0.025–0.03%
- Cost: ₹7–9 lakhs depending on boiler capacity
- Advantage: Multiple distillation units can operate simultaneously for efficiency
