Also Known As: Damask Rose Powder, Red Rose Petal Powder, Garden Rose Powder, Dried Rose Petals Powder, Rosa Damascena Powder
Part Used: Flower petals of the plant, Rosa damascena
Description: Rose Powder is produced from the dried petals of Rosa damascena, a perennial flowering shrub in the Rosaceae family. Native to the Middle East and widely cultivated in temperate regions of Europe, Asia, and North Africa, the plant produces dense, bushy growth with woody stems, fine thorns, and compound green leaves. Flowering occurs in late spring to early summer, producing large, multi-layered blossoms with rich red to deep pink petals that are harvested for their colour and delicate texture.
The petals are harvested at peak bloom when their colour, size, and velvety feel are most uniform. Only intact, fully grown petals are collected to maintain consistent colour intensity, delicate layering, and natural floral structure. Harvested petals are carefully cleaned to remove field debris while preserving their soft, layered form.
Once cleaned, the petals are dried using controlled low-temperature or air-drying methods to maintain colour, texture, and natural fragrance. After drying, the petals are finely milled into a smooth, free-flowing powder with a light reddish-pink to deep red hue, reflecting the natural characteristics of the Damask rose. The powder retains the subtle floral aroma of the petals.
The finished Rose Powder is visually consistent, lightweight, and easy to blend with other ingredients. Its fine texture and stable structure offeres the precise measurement, convenient storage, and versatile use in wide range of applications, while preserving the botanical identity of Rosa damascena and the distinctive qualities of the flower.
Uses: Rose Powder is used in tea-style infusions, herbal blends, and dry culinary applications for its natural colour and floral aroma. It is incorporated into cosmetic and personal care formulations such as soaps, bath blends, face masks, scrubs, and skincare products to add colour, texture, and aesthetic appeal. Additionally, it is used in craft projects, decorative floral displays, educational botanical collections, and manufacturing applications requiring finely milled flower material with consistent colour, texture, and form.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry, dark place in an airtight container. Refrigeration not required.
Safety: We recommend that you consult with a qualified healthcare practitioner before using any herbal products, particularly if you are pregnant, nursing, or on any medications.
