But there is just one unique kind of rose – the oil bearing Rosa Damascena which grows exclusively in the world famous Valley of Roses, located between the Balkan and Sredna Gora mountains. Bulgaria is therefore the top producer of rose oil in the world, moreover the oil made of Rosa Damascena is the best quality one. During May – June in the town of Kazanlak every year you can enjoy the rose – picking traditions, various attractions, annual Rose Queen competition for the local girls- a tribute to the beauty of the Bulgarian women, and much more.

Wow. This is something completely new and I was very curious to read your suggestion on how long the beer can be kept. By the way, in order to relax and relieve stress after a hard day at work, I was advised to take these wonderful torch diamond thc-o. Their calming effect is very similar to the process of meditation, and they also have a positive effect on my nervous system in general. Have you tried this way to relieve stress and pain?
