Man Found Standing Writes: ‍ Rose, Organic: Bulgaria (Rosa damascena) The therapeutic Rose we use is actually a hybrid derived from two or three different species that originally came from the Gulf of Persia.

When the flowers are ready, they must be handpicked early in the morning and distilled immediately before any major loss of oil. Rose is one of those special oils that use the double steam distilled extraction methods to obtain the complex chemistry found in the therapeutic oil. The pure therapeutic oil is highly concentrated and it takes about ninety pounds of rose petals to make 15ml of oil.
