There are several reasons why Isparta is called the city of roses:
rose cultivation: Rose cultivation in Isparta was started by Müftüzade İsmail Efendi in 1888. The first rose oil was produced in 1892, and industrial production was started in 1935 with the modern factory established upon the instructions of Ataturk. Today, Isparta is an important center especially in the production of rose oil and rose products.
geographical conditions: Isparta’s climate is suitable for rose cultivation; It has neither too hot nor too cold weather.
rose tourism: Rose harvest is done in May and June and the Rose Festival is held during this period. This situation also makes Isparta stand out as a tourist destination.
