Rosey’s Mark: Reimagining the Bulgarian Rose as Food
Founded by Ina and Rosi, Rosey’s Mark is built around a clear mission:to promote the sustainable development and modern culinary use of the Bulgarian oil-bearing rose (Rosa Damascena) as a premium, functional food ingredient.
While traditionally known for its aromatic and cosmetic applications, the Bulgarian rose also has unique taste, nutritional, and functional properties. Rosey’s Mark transforms this national symbol into high-quality food products—such as rose jams, chocolates, teas, and rose water—preserving the pure floral flavor while delivering benefits for:
Digestion
Immune system support
Stress reduction
Beauty and overall well-being
By combining tradition, craftsmanship, and contemporary food innovation, Rosey’s Mark positions the Bulgarian rose as a premium ingredient with international potential.
A Shared Vision for Sustainable Growth
Participation in She’s Next by Visa marks an important milestone in the growth journey of Rosey’s Mark. Over the coming months, the founders will work closely with mentors and fellow entrepreneurs to further scale their business, refine their strategy, and expand market reach—while staying true to their core values of sustainability, quality, and cultural heritage.
At Agriventures, we are especially proud to support women-led agrifood businesses that successfully bridge local identity, innovation, and global relevance. Rosey’s Mark is a strong example of how Bulgarian entrepreneurship can create value-added products rooted in tradition yet aligned with modern consumer demand.
We congratulate the team on this well-deserved recognition and look forward to following their continued growth and impact.
