Useful Information

Rose oil must be cultivated at dawn well before sunrise and processed immediately to obtain the maximum yield of oil.  It is one of the highest priced oils to obtain due to the substantial number of petals required to produce a relatively small amount of oil.  

The trace element B-damasceone is found in the approximate amount of .14 % but is responsible for up to 70% of its characteristic rose aroma.
