Origin: The rose was probably the first flower from which an essential oil was distilled in tenth century Persia. An eminent Arabian physician is credited with having distilled the first Rose oil. It was considered that red and white roses were used in different stages of the process but these days rose essential oil is not produced by distillation but by solvent extraction. A huge quantity of Rose petals are needed to extract a tiny amount of oil and this is reflected in its high price
