At the rose plantation, we will pick up roses by yourself in bags that will be given to us. This is a great place to take photos in the rose petal mountains. We will also ride a tractor. And then we'll see how roses are made into an oil. It's like in the movie "the perfumer". The most expensive oil will be produced before your eyes, which is then exported to the famous perfume houses of Europe.
