Every year between the 5th of May and 5th of June, thousands of tourists and locals head to Kashan, «the pearl of the desert», to witness the Rose Water
Ceremonies.
The harvesting of the «Rosaceous flower», the specific type of Iranian rose from which the water is extracted, dates back to the 7th millennium BCE. The method used for the extraction of rose water is itself a 1000 year old and hasn’t evolved much through time. Moreover, the «rosaceous flower» only grows in the central Iranian deserts, a strange characteristic for such a beautiful and aromatic flower.
