Grandma’s Yellow Rose

Nacogdoches Yellow Rose, April 22, 2014

Grandma’s yellow rose is a found rose — from Nacogdoches, Texas, so it’s also called “Nacogdoches Yellow”.

I purchased two of them last year at the Antique Rose Emporium. They are both growing and have started blooming. This one (pictured above) has just a few more blooms and is just a little bit larger than the other one.

So far, these roses have good disease resistance (few issues with blackspot, but nothing major and nothing else so far) and the blooms start early here in USDA zone 8b.
