Pink is the rose water fountain — the pale delicate pink of the most Moroccan sensory tradition. Moroccan rose water: the Moroccan rose water tradition (the most immediately fragrant and the most comprehensively sensory-specific of all the Moroccan hospitality rituals — rose water — ma' al-ward — the most specifically distilled and the most immediately fragrant of all the traditional Moroccan flower waters — produced primarily in the Dades Valley — the Vallée des Roses — in the High Atlas Mountains — approximately 300 km southeast of Marrakech — where approximately 4,500 metric tons of Rosa damascena petals are harvested annually in April-May to produce the most immediately beautiful and the most specifically Moroccan rose water) is the most immediately fragrant and the most comprehensively culturally specific of all the Moroccan sensory traditions — the pale delicate pink of the most perfectly open Moroccan rose petals floating in the most central riad fountain basin being the most immediately beautiful and the most comprehensively sensory-specific color element of the entire Moroccan riad experience.
