For 70 years, on the slopes of the Agros village, Tsolakis family has been cultivating its own rose bushes. Not any kind of rose, but those Cypriots call “fragrant” and sometimes “wild”. The Damask Rose or “Rosa Damascena” as is the name of the plant, for almost 100 years is synonymous with Agros. About a century ago, the teacher of the area, Nearchos Clerides, saw in the bushes of the rose that grew in the region a new industry and perhaps a new income for the locals. On his initiative, he created a nursery and has given students the necessary knowledge for the cultivation of the plant.
