The History, Antiquities, Topography, and Statistics of Eastern India vol. 1, p. 289 (1838)
Robert Montgomery Martin
The rose, which is cultivated in these gardens, is said to have originally come from Busorah, and at Patna is called by that name; but in Bengal it is called the Patna rose. It does not seem to differ materially from the common red rose of European gardens (Rosa gallica). It is propagated by cuttings in the rainy season. The cuttings are planted in a bed until they take root, and are then placed three or four together in one hole, the holes being from two to three cubits distant. Every two or three years the bushes are pruned. They flower from the middle of February to the middle of May, and must be watered in the dry season. The flowers, which are rather smaller than those in Europe, sell to the distillers at from 1000 to 4000 for the rupee.

R. gallica. Although “the occurrence[of it] in the Flora Iranica area has not yet been confirmed” (Zieliński, p. 24), Ṯābeti (pp. 643-44) has reported it from Arāk and Minudašt (in Gorgān province), giving R. centifolia (cabbage rose) as a synonym (sic) and two Persian names: sag-gol (lit. “dog rose”) in Minūdašt, and gol-e rašti “Rašt rose.”

You wrote: "gol-e rašti “Rašt rose.” That sounds a lot like: 'Gul e Reschti' and like Rose de Resht.
As I remember it well, I once read in a book or Rose-magazine (can't remember where), that Rose de Resht was called "Gül e Reshti" in Turkey.
An interesting link You posted!!!

Most welcome Jay-Jay.
By the way, I just did the copy paste, I didn't write the article :-)
Resht in the anglicized version of Rasht/ Rašt a city in Northern Iran.
The "i" after Rasht, stands for of/from. Rose of/from Rasht.

I read about that Rose de Resht was called "Gül e Reshti" in Turkey in an article about Rose-oil production.
Maybe I can find it.

An older synonymum for Rosa gallica L. is Rosa holosericea Du Roi
