The Yellow Rose of Texas is a hybrid rose cultivar which is naturalized at abandoned house sites through the state of Texas and is found as a feral rose so often along the Oregon Trail that it is also called the Oregon Trail Rose. It is actually Harison's Yellow, which originated as a chance hybrid seedling of "Rosa foetida" that bloomed for the first time at the suburban villa of George F. Harison, attorney, between 8th and 9th Avenues on 32nd Street, north of New York City. The site of Harison's villa is now just south of the present General Post Office. The nurseryman William Prince of Long Island took cuttings and marketed the rose in 1830.

The Yellow Rose is the official flower of both Delta Xi Phi Sorority, Inc. and Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc.
