Rose Geranium, also known as Pelargonium, belongs to the botanical family Geraniaceae. Its name comes from the Greek word "pelargos," which means "stork," as the shape of its fruits resembles the beak of this bird. There are numerous varieties of Rose Geranium found in Reunion Island, Madagascar, China, Algeria, Morocco, and even Egypt, where this plant was cultivated in the Fayoum region. The term "Rose Geranium" actually encompasses a variety of complex hybrids, and their characteristics may slightly vary depending on the place of cultivation. The essential oil of Rose Geranium is widely used in perfumery, as its fragrance is reminiscent of that of roses.
