Hi Vivian
Can you tell me how you like Morden Amorette and Cardinette? Do you have more photos of either? I thought I bought Amorette...but now can't figure out which rose it is out there in my garden. Thanks!

My mother's rose is very old. It sends up stalks (suckers) that get anywhere from 2 to 4 feet high/long. It is the thorniest rose I have ever seen. It only blooms once, she says it is blooming like crazy right now in central Texas. The flowers are small double yellow blooms, not very fragrant. It came from my grandfather's ranch, before that a cutting was taken from my great aunt's mother's homeplace, so there is no telling how old it is. I have searched a lot of websites, but have seen nothing like it. Sorry, I don't have a picture right now. It is in a bed about four feet by two feet wide with lots and lots of stalks just shooting up, with little branches off the main stalks. Maybe someone can help me out here. Thanks :)

I wonder if your rose is called Harrisons Yellow? This rose has Pimpinellifolia in it and because of this would sucker like mad. See if any of these pictures look familiar to you.

HA! As I was reading I thought Harison's Yellow as well! When I opened the post the Old Rosarian was thinking the same as me! You can view my photos on my garden link.....Harison's Blooms once,,,,it is the earliest bloomer in my garden. It is a prolific bloomer when it does however. Hardy to zone 3, hence all the thorns. Puts up new shoots every year. Not very fragrant but up close has a definite yellow rose scent. What do you think?

As you probably know, it is almost next to impossible to identify a rose unless it has some very unusual charactistics. But Harrisons Yellow is everywhere in Texas so it may be your grandmothers rose.

Wonderful work sharing your roses here on HMF! I am looking for something new,,,,I have a small spot so want a shrub no higher than 3'. Plus, I am in zone 3 so........... that limits me. All of my 30plus roses survived this winter :-)
