Nice--great contrast between the new rose blooms and the dilapidated building.
Thanks John and that was my thinking too...the yellow roses really stood out as being a fresh sign of life and the building, oh well!!

Yellow roses are so cheerful. I was going to ask if they’re really wild or just abandoned but I read the comments and see they are really wild. Love them.

Thanks for sharing this image. I am not there to look at the rose directly, but I would not be surprised to find that they are an old rolse variety named Harisons Yellow. Yes there is only one "r" in Harison. It is worth googling "Harison's Yellow. The rose was originally found growing as a volunteer on the property of George Folliott Harison on 32nd street between 8th and 9th avenue in the suburbs (at that time) north of New York City. Nurseryman, William Prince, from Long Island took cuttings of the rose and marketed it. This was by the early 1830's. The rose became very popular and cuttings of Harison's Yellow was carried by emigrants to all parts of the American west and is also known as the Oregon Trail Rose and the Yellow Rose of Texas. The rose in your photograph could be survivor or offspring of the settling of the west. A good thing is that these roses are still available for purchase. Another old rose often found old homesteads is the old rambler, the Seven Sisters Rose.

Yes, they are beautiful and one of these days I'm gonna a bush home and see if will take off...have just the wrought iron fence for it. I rarely see yellow and red wild roses mixed together but did on this trip...here is a couple of photos, they are gorgeous!!

Many thanks for this info RodeoMan...they have always been called volunteer's so never had any idea of there origination. Amazing how flora and fauna get their starts in different parts of the country. Gonna look up info on the Oregon Trail and Texas roses and see what I find...maybe they are here locally too!!
