Merging

The "History of the rose" section, since it isn't specific to rose oil, seems like it would be more useful at the Rose article. Perhaps right under Species and before Cultivation?
Attar of roses is a very short article whose topic is covered by the Distillation section of this article. Ironically, it will also be useful to consolidate the articles to provide a clearer explanation of the difference between "attar of roses" and "rose oil".

Merge, seems noncontroversial.--Curtis Clark 23:24, 3 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Rose Oil is not Rose Absolute

Rose water, rose oil, and rose absolute are 3 different and distinct things.

David Condrey (talk) 07:50, 3 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Indeed, I suggest we split this article since it talks about the production of all three. I suggest Rose absolute and Rose otto and leave "Rose oil" as disambiguation since the term gets popularly used for both the steam distillation and the solvent extraction product. -- Sjschen (talk) 13:54, 3 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

First sentence is incorrect

The first sentence of this article ("Rose oil, meaning either rose otto (attar of rose, attar of roses), is the essential oil extracted from the petals of various types of rose.") is grammatically incorrect. It's using the word "either" without "or". — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.65.158.171 (talk) 16:39, 5 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
