The Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo concludes on August 29. More on things floral now -- Morning dew on a wild rose. It's a poetic image, but it's also the stuff of high-altitude commerce. Among the wonders of the Tibetan plateau is a flower whose Fragrance means Fortune for one enterprising local.

Pubu Drolma is preparing a trilingual website with her colleagues to promote her products.

The main ingredient of Drolma's perfume is the bud of the wild rose, which grows at an elevation exceeding 4000 meters. The buds are best collected just after Dawn when, Drolma says, they have the best scents.

Along with its hardiness at altitude and resistance to cold, the rose has a long blooming period lasting until Winter.

Drolma and her husband began growing wild roses on their own land and making rose perfume in 2010. After four years of hard work, they created their own perfume. So far, they have developed six aromas, with a yearly output value of 20 million yuan.

In the Spring of 2014, with local-government support, Drolma enlarged her rose acreage and improved productivity of the perfume. Her next goal is to sell her products to the world.

It's a rare achievement in this rarefied air.
