The Arabian Peninsula loves Saudi-grown pink roses for their skillful cultivation, vibrant color, enticing smell, and the numerous opulent items made from their petals, which are the basis of a multimillion dollar industry.
The Madinah rose, which has a pale pink blush and thrives in both warm and chilly climes, and the Taif rose, also called the Jory or Damascus rose, which blooms only in the spring, are the two varieties of pink roses that are grown in the Kingdom.
During the 45–60 day harvest season, Taif yields over 550 million blossoms annually. Usually, the season to select roses starts in late March or early April.
According to the Saudi Press Agency, 910 rose farms spread across 270 hectares are home to approximately 1.14 million bushes in locations like Al-Hada, Al-Shifa, Wadi Muharram, Al-Wahat, and Al-Wahit.
These flowers are used to make a variety of popular items, with a domestic market worth of SR64 million ($17 million).
Taif roses are renowned for their delicate petals, vivid pink hues, and sweet, exquisite aroma, making them a symbol of the area’s unspoiled beauty. These roses are grown at high elevations and do well in the region’s rich soil and chilly climate.
