Bags of recently harvested rose petals piled on scale at Damasakena rose distillery in Bulgaria. The total yield of oil will depend upon several conditions; climate, the time of the harvest, condition of the flowers and the method of distillation. During the middle of the harvest period the yield is higher than at the beginning, and mild weather will result in a further increase in the oil produced. On average, Rosa Damascena will yield 1 kilo of oil per 4,000 kilos of flowers using modern distillation processes. Under very favorable conditions only 2,600 kilos of roses may be required to produce 1 kilo of oil, whereas under less favorable conditions up to 8,000 kilos of flowers may be required to produce the same amount of oil.
