The Yellow Rose of Texas"Rosa foetida" is a species of
rose , native to the foothills of theCaucasus Mountains in Georgia. It has yellowflower s with a mild, sour scent many find objectionable, thus the species name. Though grown widely outside its range (for example, in Britain and America), it is particularly susceptible to black spot.An important rose, inasmuch as it is the source of yellow in modern-day hybrids, most famously 'Soleil d'Or' ("R. foetida" x 'Antoine Ducher'; 1900), was bred by
Joseph Pernet-Ducher . One variety, "Rosa foetida" var. " 'bicolor' ", the Austrian Copper rose, has flowers with petals that are red or orange on the upper interior surface but yellow on the lower exterior surface.ee also
