When we examined the available herbarium material and the photographs documenting Turhan Baytop’s
roses, we realised that two morphotypes of the rose exist....The other morphotype (Fig. 3) is distinguished
by its leaflets which are biserrate, glandular and pubescent on both surfaces. All petals and staminodes
are milky-white, the sepals are much shorter, and may also extend into a long (but never dilated)
tip. This rose is apparently only from Van and it is still flourishing on the balcony of Asuman
Baytop’s home in Istanbul where it flowers well after mild pruning.
