Roses cultivated for commercial perfume production include only a few varieties. However, many rose varieties are cultivated and sold for different purposes, including color, scent, cold hardiness, and disease resistance. Individuals interested in making rose-scented perfumes or other products at home are more likely to have access to and use rose varieties available locally, such as certain garden varieties as well as roses available at floral shops. In this study, rose petals of different locally available varieties were extracted and analyzed via GC-MS for plant volatiles. Volatile compounds were compared against those present in commercial rose essential oils.
