The story is said to have occurred in the 1870’s, where Müftüzade Gülcü İsmail Efendi smuggled a rose sapling 1200 kms from the Rose Valley of Kazanluk, Bulgaria, to Isparta, Turkey. Ismail Efendi hid the sapling inside the pole of his cane, planting it in the Turkish province which ultimately changed the social and economic structure of the city." - a note from the brand.
