Robert Buist regarded R. lutea and R. sulphurea as the same, so please refer to both for more information. Maybe a synonym of 'Sulfureux' by Ducher. The date of this rose before 1615 is based upon the statement in The Botanical Register that "The flower is well drawn in the old Hortus Eystettensis," which was first published in 1613.
