abstract = "Garden rose, Rosa hybrida, is primarily used for decoration and has a wide range of growing
area, contrary to R. damascena that has a limited area of distribution (Turkey and Bulgaria), yet it is
extensively used for commercial production of valuable and expensive rose oil. Since the content of
essential oil in rose petals is low (0.03–0.04%), its production is quite limited; however, during this
process, a significant amount of rose hydrosol is obtained as a secondary product. The aim of this
research was to determine the chemical composition of garden rose hydrosols and to evaluate their
biological properties. Obtained results show that R. hybrida hydrosol containing phenylethyl alcohol,
nerol, linalool, and geraniol may be used as an alternative for R. damascena hydrosol. However, the
total phenolic content was quite low (4.96 _g GAE/mL), which is related to a low level of observed
antioxidant activity based on different antioxidant activity assays. Furthermore, R. hybrida hydrosol
did not exhibit antimicrobial activity against several gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, as
well as yeast and fungi. Anti-inflammatory activity was also low, while no antihyperglycemic activity
was detected. With these results in mind, no potential is evident for the therapeutic application of
rose hydrosol beyond that found in complimentary medicine such as aromatherapy.",
