The rosa damascena was first introduced to Maui on the early 1800's. It swiftly gained popularity and could be found in many local gardens. It was declared the official flower of Maui by the Territorial legislature in 1923.

Rosa damscena is classified as an Old Rose. It grows as a shrub, growing to approximately 7 feet tall. The flowers are small and grow in groups. The color ranges from light pink to light red.

The temperature of the steam is carefully monitored to protect the delicate aroma.
