Roses grown at that altitude develop more slowly than those in the warmer central provinces, and slower development concentrates what ends up in the flower. It also produces a firmer, tighter bud — which is what allows it to survive drying, sorting, packing and a long freight leg without falling apart.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor a buyer, that last point is the commercial one. Bud integrity on arrival is the difference between a saleable product and a carton of loose petals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBotanical name:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cem\u003eRosa damascena\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tabriz, East Azerbaijan, Iran\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eForm:\u003c\/strong\u003e Whole buds, calyx intact, unopened\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProcessing:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hand-picked, low-temperature dried, hand-sorted\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eComposition:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100% dried Damask rose buds.

Cake and dessert decoration, where it gives height and structure that scattered petals cannot. Infusion into syrups, honey and creams, with the advantage that a whole bud lifts out cleanly and needs no straining. Blended with green tea, black tea, cardamom, saffron or dried fruit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eA note on freight\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRose buds are low-density, so shipping is charged on volume rather than weight — the carton fills long before it gets heavy. This is worth planning for early, because it changes the economics of a small trial shipment considerably compared with a consolidated one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePetals can be vacuum-compressed to recover some of that volume. Buds cannot: compression destroys the shape you are paying for, so they ship uncompressed and the freight cost reflects it. We would rather tell you that at the quotation stage than have it appear as a surprise on the invoice. Where volume justifies it, overland container routing recovers a meaningful part of the difference.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eRequesting a quote\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePricing depends on volume, packing format, destination and shipping terms, so we quote rather than publish a figure.

A consolidated shipment sharing space with other lines works very differently from a dedicated one, and rose is bulky enough that the answer changes with the format. Tell us your target volume and destination and we will tell you what is workable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I get a sample first?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nYes. Samples are available for serious enquiries — tell us the market you are supplying and we will arrange it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat documentation can you provide?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n[CONFIRM BEFORE PUBLISHING — list the certifications and documents you actually hold: certificate of origin, phytosanitary certificate, lab analysis, health certificate, halal certification, and any others. This is the first question most importers ask and the answer needs to be exact.]\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the lead time?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n[CONFIRM BEFORE PUBLISHING — give an honest range from confirmed order to dispatch, and note that rose is a seasonal crop harvested in late spring, so availability and lead time move through the year.]\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDo you supply the petals as well?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nYes. Dried Damask rose petals come from the same growers and the same harvest. Petals are the better choice where the flower will be scattered, blended or infused; buds where it needs to hold its shape or be served whole.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the green part meant to be there?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nYes — that is the calyx, and leaving it on is deliberate. It holds the bud together through drying, sorting and transit, and is the reason the flower arrives whole rather than as loose petals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill batches match across repeat orders?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nClosely, not exactly. Colour and size shift with harvest and season, and nothing is added to standardise them. If you need a specification held across a season, tell us at the quotation stage and we will work to it.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Délice Pistachios","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45421285998886,"sku":"RS1001DL","price":39.0,"currency_code":"MYR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0782\/7442\/9222\/files\/Dried_Damask_Rose_Buds.png?v=1787682494","url":"https:\/\/delicepistachios.com\/products\/wholesale-damask-rose-buds","provider":"Délice Pistachios","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
