A century
of the rose,
distilled.
Since 1917 the growers of Agros have hand-picked Damascus roses at dawn to distil pure rosewater — no preservatives, no shortcuts. Just the mountain and the flower.
Born of a teacher's
quiet ambition
The story begins in 1917 when Nearchos Clerides, a teacher in the village, envisioned the spread of rose cultivation (Rosa damascena) by founding the "Students' Association for the Propagation of the Rose". The production of rosewater started immediately with the first distillery in 1918 operating in the Field Boys' School.
Over time, the demand for Rodostagma Agros increased, as the villagers saw and experienced the benefits offered by the cultivation of roses.
From 1961 until today, the distillation and marketing of Rodostagma has been undertaken by the Cooperative Company of Rose Field Producers.
