Introduction.
Rosa centifolia (lit. hundred leaved/petaled rose; syn. R. gallica var. centifolia (L.) Regel), the Provence rose or cabbage rose or Rose de Mai is a hybrid rose developed by Dutch rose breeders in the period between the 17th century and the 19th century, possibly earlier. Its parentage includes Rosa ×damascena, but it may be a complex hybrid; its exact hereditary history is not well documented or fully investigated.

Rosa Centifolia contains up to 63% phenylethanol that gives the flower its antiseptic properties to treat acne and control skin diseases such as psoriasis and atopic dermatitis. The rose’s essential oil has also been studied and found to help in healing wounds.
The presence of Vitamin C - a powerful antioxidant – in the flower helps to protect skin cells from free radicals and prevent sunburn. The rose is also a gentle but powerful anti-depressant and is used in treating stress-related conditions. Its therapeutic scent soothes the nervous system and can help prevent panic attacks.

The Health Benefits of Rose Oil.
1.This aromatherapy oil may reduce stress and promote libido.
2. Rose oil is one of the most commonly used essential oils that some believe have anxiolytic (anxiety-reducing) and aphrodisiac properties.
3. When applied to the skin, rose oil may help relieve pain and inflammation while improving the overall quality of the skin. Rose oil is also one of the most widely used essential oils in the manufacture of perfumes and fragranced products.
4. Practitioners of aromatherapy believe that inhaling essential oil or absorbing it through the skin transmits signals to the limbic system (a region of the brain responsible for emotions and memories). Doing so can induce physiological effects, including a reduction in blood pressure, heart rate, and respiration as well as an increase in "feel-good" hormones like serotonin and dopamine.
5. Others believe that it can act a natural antidepressant, relieve symptoms of arthritis and gout, or treat spasmodic disorders like asthma, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Most of these claims are poorly supported by research.
Stress.
According to a 2011 study in Chemical Senses, rose oil is able to decrease levels of the stress hormone cortisol in the blood. Doing so not only alleviates the physiological symptoms of stress (including rapid heart rate, increased blood pressure, and sweating) but stimulates the so-called mesolimbic reward pathway in the brain.
