They do not have the financial resource to purchase and process rose flowers, and do not need to because they have obsolete stock which they are unable to market,” Hristo Nikolov, chair of the Professional Association of Rose Producers in Bulgaria commented for BNR-Stara Zagora. That is why they are calling for convening a consultative council on the oil-yielding rose.
