roseira-da-provença

A rosa-de-boticário é uma das rosas cultivadas mais antigas existentes, cultivada na Europa e no Oriente Médio há mais de 2.000 anos e foi a principal fonte de pétalas de rosa para herboristas e perfumistas medievais. Produz fragantes flores de cor rosa intenso, simples a semiduplas, a cada primavera; é nativa do Cáucaso e do norte do Irã. Suas pétalas retêm a fragrância quando secas, tornando-a valiosa para a produção de água de rosas, attar e potpourri. É a ancestral de muitas cultivares modernas de rosas.
