Notes:

Probably dedicated to Omar Pacha (November 24, 1806 Jasenica near Ogulin - April 18, 1871 Istanbul), Commander-in-Chief of the Ottoman army, who routed the Russians at the Battle of Evpatoria (February 17, 1855) in the Crimean War. Born as Michel Lattas (or Mihaylo Latos) in Austria-Hungarian Croatia, he defected in 1828 to Ottoman Bosnia and took the name Ömer Lütfi.
In 1853/54 both Pradel and Laffay issued a Bourbon rose 'Omer Pacha', slaty purple and scarlet-crimson resp. The soft pink version in L'Haÿ and commerce may be an early mislabeling (1899).
