DESCRIPTION

Plant Profile
Rosa centifolia, commonly known as the Cabbage Rose, is a well-known flowering shrub valued for its rich fragrance and full blooms. It is a deciduous plant that usually grows between 1.5 and 2 meters in height. The stems are long and arching and are covered with many sharp thorns. The leaves are greyish-green and divided into several small leaflets. The flowers are the most striking feature of the plant. They are large, rounded, and made up of many tightly packed petals, often more than a hundred. This dense petal arrangement gives the flower its characteristic cabbage-like shape. The blooms are usually deep pink in color and highly aromatic. Rosa centifolia does not grow naturally in the wild, as it is a cultivated hybrid with roots in the Mediterranean region and Europe. Today, it is grown widely in temperate climates. In India, it is cultivated mainly in Rajasthan and Gujarat for use in perfumery and traditional medicine.

Healthcare Perspective
In Ayurveda, Rosa centifolia is known as Shatapatri. It is valued for its cooling and mildly astringent nature, which makes it useful for calming excess Pitta. One of its most common traditional preparations is Gulkand, made by slowly preserving fresh rose petals with sugar. This preparation is traditionally used to reduce internal heat, ease acidity, and support digestion.Across different healthcare traditions, rose water and rose oil are used both externally and internally. Topical use helps soothe irritated or sensitive skin, while aromatic use is known to promote relaxation and emotional balance. Traditionally, the rose is also described as Hridya, meaning supportive of heart health, and is considered a gentle laxative. These qualities have made it a long-standing remedy for calming the nervous system and supporting overall vitality.

Phytochemical Composition
The petals of Rosa centifolia contain a wide range of aromatic and protective plant compounds. Much of the flower’s fragrance comes from natural aromatic alcohols such as geraniol, citronellol, nerol, and phenyl ethyl alcohol. These compounds are responsible for the rose’s strong scent and soothing qualities.
The petals also contain tannins, which give them a mild astringent effect. Flavonoids such as quercetin and kaempferol are present and contribute to antioxidant activity. Natural pigments called anthocyanins give the petals their pink color. In addition, the flowers provide vitamin C, which further supports their use in skin care and wellness preparations. Together, these compounds explain the rose’s long history in traditional remedies and cosmetic use.
