Abstract:

The after-liberation Balkan economies set out to the modernization. The economy of Principality of Bulgaria and Eastern Rumelia (until 1885) run also into difficulties in the attempts at adaptation to the new conditions. The rose-growing is one of the Bulgaria’s visiting-cards for the foreign consumers. The trends, which are characteristic of the branch in the first two decades after the Liberation (1878), present the complicated combination between the attempts at innovations and the stable tradition. The achievements of the Bulgarian rose-growing are presented with comparatively successful innovation politics. Main problems for the Bulgarian rose-oil trade are the struggle with the falsification and the insufficient development of the labor specialization.
