Description

Rose

Origin and background

Rose essential oil (Rosa damascena) is obtained by solvent extraction of rose flower petals. The production of rose oil is very expensive because a very large amount of flower petals is needed to produce a very small amount of oil. Production costs are also high due to the timing of flower picking - to point out, the petals have to be picked manually at sunrise, as the yield of oil when harvested at that time is highest.
