| This is a rose my husband's great-gramma had. It has no scent that I can tell, and is thornless , with fern like leaves. Anything you think would be helpful. My mom called it the yellow rose of Texas, but can't find nothing to support that :) |

| Alana, This plant is not a rose, though it's in the rose family...it's kerria japonica pleniflora. It's a wonderful garden plant and there is also a single form and one with variegated leaves, too. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Fine Gardening on Kerria

| Thanks so much! I was going by what they said. You sure nailed it :) I appreciate it. |

| Alana, a common name is Japanese rose. That might explain the confusion. Beautiful bloom on your plant! How wonderful that you are growing a family heirloom. Carol |

| Thanks Carol, Yeah I read on the link above that was a common name, and your right, probably how it got confused. I know my mother-in-law is happy I got it doing so well. I threw some alfalfa to it like I did my other actual roses and it has four new shoots coming up :) Glad to find out what it actually is though! |
