Harrison's Yellow

Harrison's Yellow Rose, Rosa 'Harrison's Yellow', puts on a spectacular show each June as the bright yellow flowers cascade from long, arching canes amid the aroma of licorice. The soft grayish-green foliage has a delicate appearance that belies this rose's durability and tenacity. These roses were first started from a plant over a century old at the bottom of Bailey Hill. Budded. A true American old rose, this sunny flower was so popular that pioneer women routinely took cuttings to carry with them across the wilderness to their new homes in the west. This rose is very prone to suckering and will spread well outside of it's boundaries. A very tough and prickly rose, it is a once bloomer and is sometimes referred to as the Yellow Rose of Texas.
