This rose is now being called "Grandma's Yellow Rose" by our supplier. I was told the name was changed because nobody could spell Nacogdoches.

"Nacagdoches Rose" is a wonderful name. The grande dames of found roses are turning in their graves! The reason a "found" rose is circulated under one and only one name - - the first name given to it by the finder- - is so that it is not lost in a confusion of names. This as a perfect opporunity to learn to spell Nacagdoches, the oldest town in Texas. It is sad that businesses think we are so dumb.

Some people at rosehybridizers.org are trying to figure out this rose's identity... A list of canidates: Celebrity, Oregold, Sunblest, Golden State, and Holtermann's Gold.

I would add Allgold to the list. This Le Grice rose was tested in the UK, Germany and the Netherlands and is hardy to Zone 5. The blooms are unfading and produced singly and in clusters. It wouldn't surprise me if it grew much, much larger in a southern climate, like a Grandiflora.

Spelling Nacogdoches wasn't hard but for this northern girl learning to say it was another thing! I love the name and vigorously oppose calling it something else.
