It is a hybrid derived from Rosa gallica and Rosa moschata.
The high cost for Rose oil is due to the enormous amount of rose petals that are needed and the harvesting conditions required to create an ounce of oil.
Rose Otto is steam distilled. During the distillation process a large amount of oil may remain in the distillation water, the essential oil is redistilled a second time in a process known as cohobation to get the maximum yield of the Rose essential oil.
Rose has been traditionally called the Queen of Flowers.
Rose Otto essential oil is light in color and a soft aroma.
