Hello, I have this rose growing in my backyard. I am not sure of the variety. It is a single yellow, blooms early (now), and has fern-like foliage with many thorns. it forms a bush from throwing canes.

Sorry, I don't recognize it.

Very few people check the gallery, so you may want to post this in discussions. Someone there is bound to know what it is.

I don't grow any of the early yellows, but there have been some previous posts about them. Here is one post that has quite a bit of information plus several photos.

I agree that you would probably get a better response in the discussions section.

If the foliage and flowers are small and the hips are small and dark it could be R. hugonis - the Father Hugo rose.

I'm wondering if it is Beauty of Leafland?
I have Rosa hugonis, which is yellowish, definitely not this rose.

I am fairly certain your rose is a little Spinossissima called Dumka.

It looks a lot like 'Fruhlingsgold' which is a hybrid spinosissima. While there is also a resemblance to 'Dumka', the more recent release date and (seemingly) limited availability of it makes me think it's less likely to be found as a "mystery rose." 'Fruhlingsgold' has been around a long time, and is (comparatively) more common.
