Marsh, David, An Amateurish Effort? The Foundation of the National Botanic Gardens of Burma, 1914-1922.
There is one permanent reminder of Cooper's short time n Maymyo. Charlotte [Lady Wheeler-Cuffe] had collected a climbing white cluster rose from the Kutkai plateau in the northern Shan states which Cooper thought might be 'new' but was certainly 'beautiful and curious'. She had planted it in her own garden and Cooper sent seeds gathered from it to Glasnevin and Edinburgh. Graham Stuart Thomas thought it closely related to Rosa odorata but with darker red twigs and thorns. More recently it was thought to be a naturally occurring hybrid between Rosa gigantea and Rosa laevigata and it is listed in the RHS Plantfinder as Rosa cooperi (Cooper's Burma rose).
