Granddaddy Loved Yellow Roses

by Hibiscus House

Every time I see a yellow rose I think of my sweet Granddaddy and how he loved them so. I am going to call this yellow rose "Goodson". He lived across the road from me and he would sit on his front porch and look at the rose. He would always say to me "Dolly that is the prettiest yellow rose you've got over there." That was quite a few years ago, a few houses and yellow roses ago.
I don't remember what type rose this is I think it is a hybrid tea. The blooms have a very fragile quality and are beautiful. I was glad these photos turned out so pretty. I see a little black spot but will leave it alone, they go away and the plant gets rid of it on it's own. I just don't spray the roses anymore and they do better that way.

  @Douglas Hunt Do you grow roses? What is the name of that beautiful blooming tree on your profile and can it be grown in South Carolina?

  @Dolly Sarrio The only rose I grow is "Old Blush," which has been around since 1752. It has absolutely no problems with our hot, moist Florida climate and blooms almost year-round. The plant in my profile is actually a shrub, Viburnum suspensum, which blooms in early spring here. It's hardy to zone 8.
