| Good Morning *Easy-care Rose* lovers!!! Cutting down a very old crabapple tree opened a new sunny site bed for me & am thinking of yellow easy-care 3'x3' (if possible) bushes to plant in the now plantable inner periphery & looking for either Shockwave or Yellow Submarine ~ if yellower then OSO Easy Honey Bun is only available I wouldn't think twice!
I've enlarge the outer periphery of the site, to house 5 Shenandoah Orn'tal Grass w/ 4 Mango Salsa OSO Easy young'uns in front (in bet'w) ~ am thinking of 3 bright yellow behind the Shen' Grass! Your thhoughts please! TIA |

| For your cold zone, have you considered J.P.Connell. a cold hardy, repeat blooming yellow shrub from Canada? |
|
| Oh WOW ~ just googled to check her out ~ almost thornless even!!! A bit lighter & taller than I was thinking for the inner periphery, but then again perhaps just what I should plant behind the Shenandoahs ~ should show better!!! Thanks for suggesting Nastarana!!! |

| Sorry I posted this on *Getting Lazy in Old Age*: An update on my final choice/search & finally planting 2-3gal pots found by a kindly nurseryman!!! After reading thru the specs on each of the yellow roses (adding Forty Heroes & Yellow Brick Road) I zeroed in on the Yellow Sub & Forty Heroes ~ & asked our local/reputable nurseries/landscapers to help me search. Even Bailey Nurseries reported *sold-out* on both! On 6/19 I got a call ~ found 2 Yellow Submarines will pick up personally if I'll settle for 2 ~ a bit pricey but I went for them. So excited, got them planted the very next day! (1 had a bloom) & several ready buds on both!!! I decided to forego on the 3rd as I dug up a 7y/o Lemon Fluff (or L-Drop?) Mini rose sulking since last year from luck of sun, under 2 KO roses & planted in the 3rd prep'd hole (fingers crossed she survives the move)!!! Several buds unfurled but JB's found them too delicious already grrrrr!!! |

| OMG! It's beautiful and so clean looking. How wonderful that you have that "new" space for your flowers. BTW, I have two Shockwaves and two Julia Child, one Solstice, one Gold Medal and a Rio Samba. I underplanted with purple petunias and a yellow Hibiscus. It's so pretty. I did this in memory of my beautiful sister who died last year. She loved yellow roses and I can see this bed from my bedroom window. I miss her and my brother so much. I did Mr. Lincoln roses for him. That was his favorite! And life goes on.............. |

| Thank you for viewing & nice compliments Odie96. I originally wanted SHOCKWAVE but our zone is a bit too cold for them not to be a worry! I have enough *Divas* to enslave myself (Hydrangeas) the way it is! Wow for as challenging as Yellow Roses are to gardeners you have quite a collection!!! The nurseries here carry mostly KOs (for yellow) & Carefree Sunblaze (a bit big for my site) JC was suggested but I simply fell for the names (YS & Forty Heroes) & they fit my spec needs + am dedicating to nieces!!! I love it when gardeners plant in memories of & in remembrances of loved ones! Such is my *Piece of Soil Under Iowa Skies* heavenly as well as earthly Angels are remembered & in the same token, an OASIS at w/c my spirit drinks! |

| I planted my yellow roses in memory of my mother..she was from Texas..get it? Yellow rose of Texas? I have a Julia Child Rose, a Marvelle Rose..which is striped and getting huge..then I go into my oranges. I want to plant another yellow but I have not decided which one yet. |

| I'm checking out *HIGH VOLTAGE* for another sunny site I intend to open ~ time permitting ~ also another sold-out category for now. Have you checked SHOCK WAVE, zyperiris? Your zone would be perfect! |
