Rose essential oil is extracted from the petals of the rose flower. The harvesting process of the flowers needs to be performed very quickly, as the plant deteriorates very quickly once harvested. As soon as the rose starts to open, the harvesting starts and does not stop, until all the flowers have been picked. The petals are then quickly transferred to the distilleries for processing. Harvest to distillery is often done within a matter of hours, so that the oil is extracted at its very best. The amount of work and potential wastage involved in this process, explains why rose is one of the most expensive essential oils.

The oil is extracted using steam distillation (Rose Otto) or chemical extraction (Rose Absolute or Rose oil). Rose absolute has a more recognisable scent of the flower, as the oil is extracted at lower temperatures, which is why it is used more commonly in perfumes.

The roses grown to produce Rose essential oil are usually from France, China, India, Bulgaria, Turkey, Egypt and Morocco.

Throughout history roses have played their part; both the ancient Greeks and Romans associated the rose with their goddesses of love, Aphrodite and Venus and the Romans were known to use Rose to relieve the symptoms of a hangover.
