Do I paste the HTML code into:

* the "Image file to upload" box
* the "Optional link URL" box
* the "Message" box

Paste the code(s) into the Message box...

Now I know how to upload a photo.

Thanks.

The blooms are pure yellow; are 4 to 4 1/2" across and 2" deep; and have a scent (although not very strong or overpowering).

I cut the rose back to canes in the winter and prune it several times a year so the rose stays between 3' and 4' tall.

I cut the rose back so only 6- to 8-inch canes remain.

The flower has 30-35 petals.

Here's a photo of the bud:

I suggest posting in the rose forum or the antique rose forum, including pics of the corolla, leaves, the stipules, prickles and heps. Some context such as where found, surrounding vegetation, growth habits such as remontancy etc. is always helpful.

I agree, more information would be helpful... do you know how old the rose is? Was it purchased recently (within 10 years, can you pinpoint roughly when), or is this a rose that has been growing for decades? How many thorns - doesn't look like there are any on the bloom stems but I thought I saw some on a twig. Di you think this is a shrub or a tea/grandiflora?

I planted this rose about 8-10 years ago.
I believe it's probably a grandiflora.
The rose blooms repeatedly (almost continuously) almost all year-long

If I had to hazard a guess, I would wonder if this was Saint Patrick. St. P was bred by Strickland and is also called Limelight, not to be confused with the Kordes' Limelight (AKA Gioldren Medallion).

To me, the bloom itself looks most like Molineux although those buds do not look like Molineux's which tend to be stubbier. Honestly, before I saw the photo of the bud, I thought for sure it was Molineux. Now, I've heard that Molineux's buds can be long and pointed but I don't recall that any of mine ever were. COuld be that I was growing it in a colder climate (6b) and that made a difference.

The buds on yours are a killer - they remind me so much of florist rose buds.... they are absolutely stunning! I know I have seen them in the garden as well. I just sat and paged through I can't tell you how many pix of my yellow roses over the years and the only one I thought was a match couldn't be as it's a relatively new rose (2-3 years old at most).

I can tell you better what it isn't LOL.... just based on the yellows that I've grown.

It's definitely not Julia Child - she is full of thorns. Midas Touch also has thorns and a stubbier bud. The bud on your rose is a classic.... love it.

Definitely not Graham Thomas. Again, the bud is not right, although if the bud is stunted becuase of the climate I was growing it in, this could be a possibility (but I just don't think it's a bright enough yellow).

Definitely not Yellow Submarine... the leaves of YS are somewhat glossy and though it can send single blooms, it usually blooms in clusters. And not Golden Celebration... buds of GS are shorter and fat, and the blossom is so heavy, they droop (well, in my garden anyway).

Not Gold Medal either, which has shorter buds edged with rose/orange/reddish tint. Michelangelo and Sunsprite both have shorter buds as I recall, but if anything, it looks more like Michelangelo. The bud resembles Helmut Schmidt but the blossom doesn't. :( Ditto for New Day, which just doesn't have the same flower form as yours.

Could possibly pass for Sunshine Daydream but that's a new rose... I have pix posted on HelpMeFind of ours... stunning. I checked it's lineage.... nothing yellow.

Do you have a botanical garden nearby?

What I would do is take a blossom and a leaf grouping to a local botanical garden and compare the fragrance and leaf structure and color. Molineux has a fairly mild and rather insignificant fragrance, nearly thornless, and matt leaves. But the bud is what is a stumbling block for me.

Good luck! Let us know if you sort it out!

One final thought... could this actually be a large flowered climber that you are growing as a shrub by pruning it? There are a couple of yellow LFC's that I can think of that produce roses on long enough canes for cutting.... just a thought.

I have to tell you, I got an unmarked rose years ago and in the pot, the canes looked like any other shrub rose. It had a beautiful dark red blossom and glossy dark green foliage that contrasted with the blooms beautifully. It only had a mild fragrance but the fragrance was light and fruity and quite pretty. It took me several years to ID it (I finally took a bloom to a botanical garden). I was stunned to discover that I was growing the LFC Dublin Bay as a shrub.

We had our local rose society over for a luncheon in our rose farden and one of the rosarians insisted it had to be moved, couldn't be grown as a shrub. It had been growing that way for 10 years LOL. I had actually cut some of the blooms to use in the vases of roses on the tables for the luncheon!

Golden Celebration

http://www.antiqueroseemporium.com/roses/1602/golden-celebration

It's not a Golden Celebration:

My rose's blooms are pure yellow; are 4 to 4 1/2" across and 2" deep and have 30-35 petals.

Yesterday, I removed all of the gazanias from my garden and pulled every weed.

While I was working around my yellow rose, I noticed that it has a TAG!!! (I must've been blind in November).

My rose is indeed a Ch-Ching!
