but increasingly people here are finding ways to claim a share of the money that can be made from their valleys fragrant resort. was. planned. it's 5 o'clock in the morning right custom is setting off for her job in the flower fields. her husband and 2 children are still asleep. it's a half hour walk from her home in the small village of stiletto vault to the rose field where she works as a picker. at

all the thought mcarthur when we hear the word rose we immediately think of vogue area it's my country my home my family and even if life doesn't look so rosy the rose is the symbol of ok area you need to fill it up well got it. right come loves getting up early and arriving at the rose field in the freshness of the morning. she's always the 1st to arrive. the 39 year old always looks forward to the harvest in may and june the 3 week window is a special time of year. i mean i'm from the countryside as a child i grew up with a view on to to mountain ranges of the balkan mountains and the struggle to gore

out how god will dole thought of one another i feel at one with nature. i carry it in my heart. through it all the. there are a lot of wealth of 3rd of the 2 mountain ranges and close the valley to the north and south creating cool nights and high humidity ideal conditions to bring out the roses heady scent. well 1st of thought you didn't you can't describe the fragrance it's a unique inspiring scent with its freshness and energy. when i'm out here in the rose fields i feel light and forget about anything negative in my life. through. red capek's the flowers at their base they have to be removed at exactly the right time not too early or late in their

bloom. retcon knows exactly which ones she can pick and which ones to leave for another day she's been taking for many years and isn't deterred by the tough conditions from the doctors but i'm a simple hung maker from the village i'm not spoiled or afraid of hard work all of the bull the boys it's got them all the bother i'm used to rural life and come sit down at home doing nothing at all roast pickin isn't my profession. i only do it during the season oh boy the whole college financial says vulnerable what i am in. the morning sun coaxes the fragrance from the roses after midday it gets hotter and the oil begins to evaporate the petals grow limp. right good has to rush to complete her day's harvest.

the roses are the very reason beside the path of return to the valley. below me but with it was notable that i was working abroad but i decided to return to bulgaria after friends encouraged me to try cultivating roses. i like the idea so i started learning about agriculture with the mom threw them a bit. of the way. how are the roses looking today. well it's try. to go over while driving under a low number that you know we didn't water them this year look at the ground look they're falling apart a good thing you came early reports. through the program and then we have this had lived in france for a number of years but the cost of living was high and it was hard to find work today he farms his own rose fields you know religion may often be something up the beach and i'm fond of my lad i like the peace and quiet i love working in

agriculture. and over the past few years i've discovered there are opportunities here to make a living. or fish to theo in the least i can build a future for myself here because the girl. rucka has filled just one bag of rose flowers from business feels the yield won't be any bigger today. normally she manages to fill 3 or even 4 socks by midday but today she's already picked all she can by 10 o'clock. other laborers appear to have a similarly meager crop. the workers are paid by weight one kilo earns them one less the equivalent of $0.50. for a coffee going today but the call for the states to have i'm sure i don't have

any problems. going to have nothing to complain about what i wish there were more flowers i would have a. 14 and a half kilos yes ok. it's. after toiling away for 5 hours that kind of takes home a little over 7 year i was through. the flowers travel in the opposite direction to tortilla a small town further east in rose valley. and i do like a location in a picturesque setting. in the. doria is home to alexandra dragon off distillery.

and this is where the blossoms that brad cut picked today end up alexander that i got off own is one of a total of $39.00 distilleries operated in rose valley he used to make wine before switching to rose oil. is this from a different field no these are left over from last night most. of them i'm. sure all of the rose has a very special significance to me personally. it's. not just a business why not. the equipment that are still feeding the roses one of the natural wonders that bulgaria is famous for around the world cup. you put the sex over there if there are more here. how many more of the bad is full . say it takes about 3 and

a half tons of flowers to produce a single leader of distilled rows on flights for the distillation is a simple process the rose petals are placed in a vat with water which is heated to discharge low pressure steam through the flowers which in turn releases the essential oil into the vapor and the oil separates and floats to the surface of the water. i see. below for this. then you have a problem. distillery is built to perfection you know what i mean very proud of it the prebuttal. good part business partners from france were here and said they'd

rarely seen such a modern distillation facility in france you. could get everything here is rust free and all the vapor passes through special softening equipment we did is to give you all of our measuring instruments are exact but we ourselves are the key to our success and everyone here is part of the team that no one who works for themselves our motto is together as one you will remember. although only designated employees are allowed to extract the rose oil areas liquor. gold it's a question of responsibility alexandra dragon of clients include chanel and dior and other leaders of the global fragrance industry. it's believed autumn and merchants brought the damascus rose to bulgaria in the 18th century from syria. and

today the rose is not the only flower that thrives in the valley it's fertile soil also offers ideal conditions for the cultivation of poppies and lavender. when right because the fellow returns home from the fields she still has a little time before her children arrive from school records work as a picker is only a morning job and it never pays much. she once spent a season in germany picking strawberries every. overt hotel to what most people go abroad to earn money in to improve their living standards. but they're often disappointed as they look for job opportunities and have to adapt to a new culture a new country they're putting all that really matters is in a piece it's a pity that we can't find in a peace at home and have to go out into the world in search of security national

said there are new business going. simple for the. red car is a trained cook but can find work in rows valley her husband occasionally earn some money as a day laborer in construction they inherited their house. redhead doesn't want to leave again her home and her family are more important to her than money she now knows. with its soft light and lush landscape rose valley is her home. capturing the essence of that home in fine fragrances is what luke me a child does for a living even as a child he had a very fine sense of smell today he has his own manufactory for him creating perfume is like composing music. simple as i

wrote there was a symphony consists of 7 major notes which when combined produce a melody with. so the same is true of perfume making. but a perfume contain 3 to 400 notes. to. it all of it's the fragrance creators john to combine all these notes. like an orchestra conductor the most of these is that this is not here the support check or it is. his wife marina is always the 1st to test a new fragrance. because now you like to try our new fragrance so a new company it's a somewhat sweet scent. i can clearly detect the rose oil but it's more intense

don't you agree. with it's a scent for party girls. go through the vacation fragrance. well. you can sense nature it smells like flowers after a rain shower. and other companies do. oh you must be the center of rosario from bog area is much more intense than oil from china turkey or other countries. that's why it's so sought after by leaving for a few mouses with a small drop of rose oil and caps relates the fragrance and the more intense the fragrance the longer the central last rose or lose the very heart of a perfume that. he has developed his own line of personal fragrances designed with different types of women in mind. some of the other 3 here when i'm in a good mood and summer holidays are on the horizon exactly i think of exotic beaches

and sensual brazilian women but if you look at the pivot they could see a good time. and. if we create a fragrance that smells like the sea with exotic fruit nuances. combined with a sweet floral scent. then the result is inevitably a summary fragrance. is. when putting together his compositions nuclear 1st needs to find the right bass note and he's in the perfect place to source it from his lab in cousin luck it's just a 20 minute drive to alexander that i don't know if distillery into idea. but over the hill that's all right here look we can select exactly what he needs he

samples the different grades of oils from different distilleries it's. good almost all of it but all that's great you'll need walkies all the things are rose oil has components not found in other rows oils yeah but is. that all in addition to being used in fragrance rollers or oral is also delivered for use in food supplements medicine. and it helps against diabetes. that beauty's. lowers cholesterol and high blood pressure. and lets them prevent stomach cancer the ball but it's good for the kidneys. so in a word rose or liz simply priceless that the law must love you if you were the one leader of rose oil sells abroad for about $6000.00 euros. leukemia china doesn't have to pay that much but of course he inspects the quality

of the new oil before deciding on a purchase. the threat is there for the good. of the. fragrance creators around the world covet bulgarian rose oil. but demand always outstrip supply that drives prices up but the profits haven't trickled down to the locals the gulf between rich and poor is wide and rose valley unemployment is high there's no style just for the communist era when jobs were secure and many here were financially better off. than the poorest of the poor are often from the roma ethnic minority. many feel marginalized their plight ignored by the government . there's little sense of bulgarian national pride in their community and.

in early june the people of cousin locke turn out to celebrate the rose harvest. was the bulgarian president himself comes to join in the festivities. it was. the highlight of the festival is the crowning of a local roads clear and a colorful parade through town it was. members of the roma community do not generally attend such events. but in toria prose cultivation has succeeded in bridging the ethnic divide.

even ups are roma family who have been working on alexander dragon of the rose fields for 15 years. almost. a sin and his relatives are among the fastest pickers in the whole valley was for. alexander did not enough supports the evenness. whenever he has work there his 1st choice because he knows he can rely on him with a. lot. of 8 there was a growing. with the harvest going you want to know what it's going really well you know right off and you my friends with the welfare of the peering through

the filter and working hard some of you know what it would be a good as he grew up in fear that. the entire even the family is gathered here today because it's sunday for us and it's important that his children attend school during the week. and the political border into so miserable that if my kids have a better education then they'll have a better life and not just a military but anywhere in europe was a lot at their level. and europe will only fare better if children have a better education that it will feel a little bit but i'm going to do a little bit of. good. i don't know why other roma don't want to work here or don't feel welcome here in rosebowl way. we have virtually no contact with such people i insist that our family works for a living that we don't beg and live honest lives everyone bears responsibility for themselves. the even of feel fortunate that i'm excited

that i had enough employees them all year round not just during the rose pick. season there's always work to do the jobs and financial support he provides have given the family new opportunities. but this year they too are affected by the arid season today they finish work early there simply aren't enough flowers bloom the lul could play it's not a whole lot. normally you could get more socks on to the scales in the same amount of time that's just the way it is this year the year old isn't great lamentable. a little bit of. the weather has impacted rose pickers and farmers alike this spring was cold and there's been too little sun and too much more easter during the harvest season conditions that

have stunted the bush's growth. most farmers can't afford irrigation systems. probably a bit it's hard to pick roads flowers today the yield is unsatisfying that's also the case for the pharma one example is a bit like a chain. but the chain has been torn apart i think you know. if the flowers are to dry their oil content is low and they don't weigh as much for a red car that means filling the same sized sack requires the same amount of work but meals less pay. they look how much you have i can see you tell me 7 happy lowers ok well i'm hoping . i'll just get. individual.

trick worked when the pedals are moist from the morning dew and the sack is full it weighs between 17 and 20 kilos. to wind up seeing less but because of the weather conditions this year it weighs in 15 kilos at the most of it because we've had such little rain. this season has also been more than disappointing for rose farmer be set apart a lot. more going out if we can live when they were told when up we'll we had bad weather in early april the go move to the porch and these are the governor the frost froze the buds that were just developing. if you see here in the companion state of

flowering they're still buds you got it they give it to that the family a bit if they don't they often and i expect our yield to be down by 50 to 60 percent this year. that will be where they're going to benefit too. she said within the model that will. the so is eager to get the last socks of the day to the distillery as quickly as possible for him every kilo of paddles counts. the money he earns is the only way to ensure his independence as a rose farmer in the years to come. the

promise of a better future in rose valley has turned this mother and daughter into a pair of early birds leanna and 14 year old catch. have big plans they purchased a field and are cultivating their own roses keeping up my butt yes it's a wonderful feeling to go to your own field and work on that. this is the 1st year were harvesting our own roses and were extremely glad that we planted our own fields demographics and i used to find it hard to get up early in the morning. but this year i'm really enjoying going out to my own rose field at 5 am in the uk on the severity of. her 2 had tears are a half an hour's walk from their village for 2 years they nursed their young plants this year they flowered for the 1st time. together with the young as mother kristina they're bringing in their 1st harvest and their 1st earnings.

we'll. hear that yesterday we picked 24 kilos but today we won't get as much it was very sunny yesterday. i brought sacks with me on video ram i think that back then i didn't. know what really don't get me a statistician got the notion you save the earth you clearly have gotten us. good this is. mostly a yana and her mother are widowed the 3 generations of women have to fend for themselves they offer each other encourage meant especially when they face setbacks . the year we planted our seedlings i pray they will turn out well and are the standard misoprostol of the good and we were lucky. they got off to a good start would be able to draft out of that would you know but the greatest the

nice thing about last year was so wet nothing but rain for 20 days so again we lost a lot of plants so we had to replace them. god is just for us but the same isn't always true that nature was your method because of the flood which. isn't. such a has remained optimistic outside of school she likes being her own boss. as much as i picked roses for neighbors for 45 years and enjoyed it i always dreamt of having my own rose fields when we had enough money it was exactly the right moment to start tearing my own roses you need them for me this here is a dream come true you know men's of the. the stand that the mormon status of. liliana used to be a child care worker she received severance pay when her job was terminated she was

tempted to spend the money but her daughter persuaded her to invest it in a rose field as a possible source of income. the center of roses the fresh air he has birdsong the view of the balkan mountains in the midst of nature but you know that there you can be feeling low and sad almost but all this brightens your mood and your heart feels joy that of the ragwort pretty apt that sit. like blue skies as far as the eye can say. i love being out in. initially the 3 women were ridiculed by many locals but this year they know they made the right decision. to my spiritual manager luna we're no worse off than any of the families that do have managed to benefit now and i'm sure my father

and grandfather are protecting us from about and giving us the strength to carry on a monument which is the bridge. they said by the middle of these 2000 square meters are enough for one person but probably not more than a study i'll only know for sure once my bushes are as big as the ones a neighboring field. and i'm not sure how long my mother will be able to help them for a given her age. already so i'm only counting on myself and my daughter somewhere just my help it will be enough to support my family the margins of my stupid it's an inch of what it is that the kitchen. and her mother can't conceal their pride when they bring their day's harvest to the weighing station in chicago for. them to give you.

a happy life but we're. just above my they're not discouraged that their debut yield isn't exactly abundant they didn't have high expectations they were just glad to be harvesting at all. with the little money they've made kucha has been able to fulfill a big wish taking dance lessons and she likes showing off what she's learned. go now move over we've moved taking roses i'm dancing and don't really have anything in call manual. nova scotia but they both give me the same feeling. there was just nothing really they make me feel alive that's just on the field put to them with the sunni should work. today pakistan's group is performing on the main square in cairo 5 events are held

here every year during the rose harvest. the little a stage has been set up for local ensembles to show off their talents. as group is 1st up. many people and rose valley are driven by a desire to make their dreams come true. love is no exception. he works hard to keep his dreams alive and has ambitions plans for the coming year he's not content just harvesting blossoms as a rose farmer should be so wants control of the entire process from cultivating the plants to oil extraction. he's leased to plot and started a rose nursery. with. me

when it looks a bit chaotic here but our seedlings are in these boxes and we're getting them ready for next year before there's all of the water since the harvest was poor this year the price of seedlings is going to go up significantly if you get the perfect the set isn't just investing in seedlings next year he wants to begin extracting oil in these distillation vats. that of. my own distillery would ensure that even in years when the rows are roosters poor that that's why i don't lose all my investment as a rose farmer all the. way because when the rose eel does low the price of rose oil climbs so if i can't make profits from rose farming i can at least have an income from the distillation. job with the me the beautiful the

way. these are is motivated he feels confident that he's on track to becoming independent not just financially but also from the whims of the weather. the many locals in rose valley are trying to improve their lot and some have managed with income from the rose growing industry in carnival at the western edge of the valley many roma families no longer live in poverty. either but this is where a same even though event his family lives. after a morning out picking roses they've returned home to their neighborhood where families own their own homes and earn a regular income. over

. a sense family built the house themselves. all of the men know how to build. for generations live under one roof. everyone sits down for a snack after the morning's work in the fields. all their lives. for the even us nothing is more important than spending time together on marco. the rest a. horrible job. over there that we visited or we've worked hard our whole lives with. that award it's always been our goal of them to settle down to a normal family life so your little modesty of vision. the even all of us are a family who have worked hard to achieve a standard of living that sets them apart from most roma in bulgaria and unlike

many roma they wouldn't dream of leaving they feel at home in bulgaria truisms the whole birth of a boy to go to law school we're happy and then there's that you want to that but if we don't face disrespect or repression with this know it's true there's a lack of social integration but we haven't encountered discrimination under the law may have ordered it. the family has lived here for more than 15 years. not one of them has ever left bros valley.

the 3 new rose farmers yanacocha and christina have also spent their entire life in the valley. every week they go to the small russian orthodox church and callow family to pray for their roses and for the men they have lost. oh. leon i gets no state support but as a half orphan her daughter kucha is entitled to welfare payments. pooled with a small pension her mother christina receives they manage to make ends meet.

the in the. although their 1st harvest of roses hasn't been a bumper crop the 3 women are satisfied the earnings will allow them to buy a few things they wouldn't otherwise be able to afford but little more than that for the time being. pushed qatar lost her father 10 years ago he died of heart disease her mother can't offer her a carefree life but she's doing her best to secure cut his future. how long till

school's out. that's if it's out the next week plus the following monday you put it don't you know that's after summer vacation a touch i will attend high school in the city louisiana will be able to pay for her daughter's bus rides with the money she's made from the rose harvest and perhaps even accommodation she's hopeful that her roses and her business will continue to flourish it seems that i want above all i hope to stay healthy so i can continue looking after the rose field up the road just on and that our yields improve in 2 or 3 years and both. my father always said rose fields are a joint venture with nature you're not the one who determines its fate its nature is a long credit. this year nature hasn't been kind to the roses and the many people whose livelihoods depend on them but in the village of tortilla they're celebrating

today nonetheless. aleksandr diagonals has invited pickers rose farmers friends and acquaintances for a get together. no matter how good or bad the season has been he won't let a bad year deprive him of the chance to throw a party. to it because if you. read custom her family are among the guests. as are even off and his family. everyone is proud of the harvest of the grose's and of the valley world famous for its fragrant flowers.

in addition to being a source of income the roses are also a symbol of national identity and an integral part of traditions and culture here in the valley. which is why for an eccentric that i don't know a celebration is complete without folk music and dancers in traditional costumes. for me it's important to see my people happy even after a bad harvest of the water you've got with you have brought me here at the table we can take stock of the season together discuss where we stand and what we'd like to improve next year. this traditional celebration is part of our work we're celebrating the end of the rose artist. every. year of our it.

and no traditional bulgarian celebration would be complete without an appearance by the kooky these groups of dancers don intimidating masks and elaborate costumes driving away evil spirits with their loud bells and wooden sticks to invite good fortune for the gathered guests. the rooms pickers and farmers hope the ritual will help improve the outlook for next year's harvest. this year was really tough for us rose pickers you can't help but feel dissatisfied but you also come. fight night
