Dried Rose Buds (Rosa Damascena) are a flagship product at Negin Elixir. As one of Iran’s top exporters, we proudly ship high-quality rose buds around the world each year—by both air and sea. East Asia remains one of our key markets, though we serve customers globally.
What distinguishes our company is our clear and reliable classification system. We divide our rose buds into three categories: organic, semi-organic, and non-organic. This system reflects the cultivation method and allows us to meet a wide variety of international standards and market demands.
Many countries, such as Taiwan and regions across Europe, accept only organic rose buds. These markets require buds to be completely free of pesticide residues. To ensure full compliance, our clients often request SGS-certified lab testing. Because organic cultivation involves stricter controls and more manual labor, organic rose buds naturally come at a higher cost.
At the same time, we also supply semi-organic and non-organic buds. These types tend to be larger and more affordable. They work well in markets where appearance and size matter more than certification.
In Iran, people know these buds as Gole Mohammadi. As members of the Rosaceae family, they hold deep cultural value. Known as the “king of flowers,” roses are celebrated worldwide for their beauty, aroma, and symbolism. Globally, there are over 200 species and more than 18,000 cultivars.
Beyond aesthetics, Dried Rose Buds play important roles in several industries. They add fragrance to perfumes, flavor to traditional sweets and teas, and healing properties to natural remedies. Additionally, producers use them to create rose water—a symbol of purity and love often present at weddings and spiritual events.
In regions like Fars Province, farmers grow and harvest these buds with care. They process them for top-quality rose water and essential oils. Because oil yields are low and alternatives are scarce, essential oil from these rose buds ranks among the world’s most expensive and desired.
