I'm looking for info on distilling rose essential oil, or any other ideas on
what to do with HUGE quantities of petals.
TIA

Do you have literally tons of rose petals from highly fragrant old
roses such as damasks and gallicas?

That's what it takes to produce an ounce or two of attar of roses.
The petals must be picked early in the morning and processed quickly
by steam distillation.

It's an industrial scale process and very labor intensive.
