These farms produce nearly 550 million roses annually, all harvested during a brief season of no more than 45 days, from early March to the end of April.
This harvest yields around 20,000 tolas of Taif rose oil. Producing a single tola requires approximately 12,000 roses, which are picked manually at dawn and distilled within 24 hours to preserve the purity and quality of the scent before reaching the market.
