What does Gülbün mean?
Rosebush; a young rose plant
In Turkish: gül fidanı; gül çalısı
Gülbün refers to the living plant that bears roses rather than to a single blossom. It consequently brings roots, branches and renewed flowering into one image. The name belongs to the rose-garden vocabulary of older poetry and shares its central image with Gül and Gülşen while focusing on the bush itself.

Gülbün derives from Persian gulbun, 'rosebush'. It combines gul, 'rose', and bun, 'base, root, stem', to name the plant as a whole.
