TAIF: The traditional practice of Taasheer remains one of the most distinctive rituals associated with the cultivation of Taif roses, taking place during the blooming and harvest seasons.
The tradition reflects the region’s deep-rooted cultural identity, with Taif among Saudi Arabia’s leading centers for the cultivation of fragrant roses, the Saudi Press Agency reported on Monday.
The SPA observed the continued presence of this tradition across several rose farms in Taif, where rhythmic chants and collective singing echo through the fields as roses are picked.
The scene highlights a strong spirit of cooperation among farmers, adding a social dimension to the work and blending agricultural activity with longstanding traditions.
Rose farmer Ghazi Al-Namri said that Taasheer had evolved beyond mere vocal or physical expression to become a symbol of the profession’s identity.
