[after asserting that R. brunonii and R. moschata became confused in Europe around the 1880's, after Crépin published a paper in which R. brunoniii was sunk into R. moschata.]

R. moschata J. Herrm. var. Nastarana Christ
[after description] Described from Iran, where it is cultivated and said also to occur wild. ...one of the two roses introduced by Paul's nursery around 1880 as R. Pissardii agrees quite well with the var. nastarana and this flowered into October. It had white, semi-double flowers, and may be the rose figured in Wilmott as var. Nastarana (Vol. I, p. 39.)
Under var. nastarana Christ mentioned the 'Gul e Rescht' or Rescht rose, a garden rose of Iran which is an obvious hybrid, with small, double red flowers, strongly pinnated sepals and toothed stipules. It bears some resemblance to the Constantinople rose (R. byzantina Dieck), which Crépin judged to be a hybrid between R. gallica and R. multiflora. The second of the two roses introduced by Paul as R. Pissardii seems to be similar to the Rescht rose.

R. 'Pissardii' The rose named R. pissardii by Carrière was found growing in Iran near Guilan on the Caspian by Pissard, Gardener to the Shah, and brought to Teheran to ornament the gardens there. (Rev. Hort. 1880, p. 314 and plate; 1888, p. 446).
This rose is usually considered to be synonymous with R. moschata var. nastarana (see above) but judging from the description and figure it was a hybrid. The broad stipules shown in the plate are quite unlike those of any form of R. moschata, and the scent of the flowers, according to Carrière, was intermediate between that of a Tea rose and R. gallica. They were single. Neither of the roses introduced by Paul's nursery as R. Pissardii agree with Carrière's description and figure.

R. MOSCHATA NASTARANA Christ— Also known as R. Pissardii Carriere and Persian Musk Rose. A geographical variety of R. moschata that ... Somewhat more vigorous than R. moschata, but such a profuse bloomer that it rarely attains great height in colder areas, and can be grown and protected as a Hybrid Tea Rose. Even though it may freeze to the ground ...

The Musk Roses of china and India and that of the high mountains of Persia, R. moschata var. nastarana Christ (R. Pissardi Carrière), distinguished at a glance by their larger leaves, much more numerous flowers in large rounded or paniculate corymbs, were unknown to botanists and to western gardens in Miller's time [1768]. In the latter half of the 19th century Crépin and other botanists believed that the range of Miller's R. moschata extended through Persian and northern India to the extreme east coast of China. Most of them admitted that the new forms discovered differed, however, from their conception of the original Musk Rose, and gave them varietal names. Our study, however, of this perplexing subject has convinced us of two thing: -(1)That the Musk Rose of Miller is little if at all different from Rosa ruscinonensis Grenier and Déséglise....and from R. abyssincia R. Brown, and their intermediate forms; (2) that the Musk Roses of India and China are distinct from those known to Miller and his predecessors and that they are best considered geographical segregates under separate names since they display constant characters sufficient to distinguish them as species...
The Rose figured by Miss Willmott (Gen.Rosa, I. 33, t. [1910]) as R. moschata Miller is a form of R. Brunnonii Lindley. Since this....is superior as a garden plant to the old Musk Rose, it has very generally supplanted it and it is doubtful if R. moschata Miller is now in general cultivation.
