You seem to be missing an understanding of the procedure.

Almond oil isn't volatile enough to steam distil.

Rose oil is volatile and will distil, but there isn't much of it so, unless you have a lot of roses, you are not going to see the oil- you should be able to smell it.

 

From wiki

"It takes a large amount of rose petals to distil a small amount of essential oil. Depending on extraction method and plant species, the typical yield can be approximately 1:3,000"

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rose_oil

 

To get a gram of oil you need about 3 kilos of petals.

The key flavor compounds that contribute to the distinctive scent of rose oil, however, are beta-damascenone, beta-damascone, beta-ionone, and rose oxide. Beta-damascenone presence and quantity is considered as the marker for the quality of rose oil. Even though these compounds exist in less than 1% quantity of rose oil, they make up for slightly more than 90% of the odor content due to their low odor detection thresholds.[3]

As you described that Almond oil isn't volatile enough to steam distill.

Rose oil is volatile and will distill,

Are these oils volatile and will distill or not?

WALNUT OIL
SOYBEAN OIL
SUNFLOWER OIL
PEANUT OIL
COCONUT OIL
GRAPESEED OIL
Carrot Oil
Aloe Vera Oil
Camelina Oil

Is there any method to know that which are able to volatile and which are not able to volatile?

Thank You.
