Flowers are used to make floristic compositions and use them in cosmetics.

Biological features

Speaking about the biological characteristics of roses, they mean the height of the stem, size, shape, color of the buds, flowering time, smell, the ability to tolerate temperature fluctuations normally, and susceptibility to disease. It is these factors that are decisive and determine the demand for flowers.

The average diameter of the bud is 8 cm. When flowering begins, the middle of the flower is painted in a pale pink color; if the air is cool, the shade becomes more saturated. As the petals unfold, they become snow-white. Each cluster can be studded with 10 to 15 buds, making the shrub almost completely adorned with shining white flowers.

Additional Information! Rose oil is produced from roses. Not all species can be used for this purpose. Today, Bulgaria occupies a leading position in its production and export, and for the first time it appeared in Persia.

Each bud has more than 50 petals, the structure of which may vary. The variety is notable for the fact that the petals from the buds begin to fall off even before they lose their color or become covered with spots, so the plant looks very neat.

The Aspirin Rose bush blooms profusely, and it happens in all buds at the same time. There is a constant change of crumbling inflorescences to new, lush, beautiful and fresh flowers. The variety belongs to the category of plants that can bloom repeatedly and for a very long time - about 5 months. The budding period begins in June and continues until the October cold weather.
