Taif

The season is Saudipedia’s sentence, a government reference rather than a farm record; the daily picking hours are not on record here. The point on the map is Wikidata’s representative point for the town.

Each field carries its evidence: open a chip for the source, the quoted words and the confidence. A field with nothing behind it says so and stays empty.

Traditions

not on record

not on record

the Taif rose festival is on record only as "dates change each year; no official source opened" (the harvest globe’s data festival.status)

Harvest, as a source states it

• Rosa damascena Mill.: Picking from the end of March for 35–45 days
  documented · HV-2

  April and May are derived by arithmetic from the stated start and duration (the house’s review); the source calls it the Taif rose and does not name the species (see the Botanical record)
