“spotted rose; rose bearing a beauty mark”

Spotted rose; rose bearing a beauty mark
In Turkish: benekli gül; üzerinde ben bulunan gül
Benligül adds the detail of a small mark or spot to the image of a rose. In Turkish poetic language, roses and beauty marks can appear together in descriptions of a face. The compound therefore allows both a floral image and a literary comparison involving facial beauty.
