Petals of R. foetida Herrm. are yellow very showy, yours seems also different from R. foetida var. bicolor that has petal's edge more showy coral or orange, yours tends to light pink.
This rose (in outward appearance on the foto) may consist to the section Rosa (former Cinnamomeae DC.). May be it is Rosa pendula L.?
Rosa foetida in effect has different colors of petals, are yellow, I think is an hybrid.
Rosa foetida Herrm. is the valid name of a species that is also called Rosa lutea Mill. The petals are yellow, occasionally pink at the base. The photos of your voucher do not fit with these characters.
Rosa foetida has a bicolor form, which has reddish petals. My guess is ROSA FOETIDA ´BICOLOR´. Correct me if i m wrong.
the pricle is tipical for R. foetida. Have the pedicels, (somtimes) hypanthium and calyx glands? And the backside of leaflets are glandular every times.
Rosa foetida has the var. bicolor with red, orange or similar pink-orange flower too! I think this is Rosa foetida vae. bicolor.
Where this photo was taken? Is this rose grows wild? You get the impression that this rose has something to do with a Rosa foetida var. bicolor (flower color) but taking into account other characteristics are very different but If this is a species cultivated then anything is possible.
In the case of wild-growing species it may be a hybrid, one of whose parents is R. orientalis (indicate hairy leaves, coarsely serrated). One of the parents may be too R. spinosissima (young shoots densely covered with spines).
Is there a possibility to send herbarium specimen?

Hello Anna
This photo was taken from nature (wild) and near to this Rosa population there was a R. foetida population with yellow petals (I have idetified). I have tried to identify this rosa from Flora of Turkey but I have not. According to this flora is seems near to R. foetida. I will examine the sample from other floras such as Flora of Europe, Flora of Russia ect. for deciding the exact position.
Thanks for your contribution.
Dear Mustafa,
It seems that the problem of identification of your samples remains unresolved.
You can access to the recent monograph of the genus Rosa, in Flora Iberica (Spain and Portugal) by Santiago Silvestre and Pedro Montserrat, with 19 species (included R. foetida) and many hybrids. Also with some icons. www.floraiberica.es/floraiberica/texto/pdfs/06_087_13%20Rosa.pdf, Alternatively: www.rosa flora iberica. The text is in Spanish.
We have decided it is a new taxa. Thanks to everybody for contributions.
A new natural hybrid of Rosa (Rosaceae) from Turkey
