July 2007 -- Could someone supply the 'creation date' for this wonderful yellow rose?? I have tried to search for it, but cannot seem to locate its date of origin. Thanks,

One explantion is that this is a famous older rose no longer under patent and a contract grower has decided to market it under a new name.

If you ever see the rose at a big box store, check the labeling carefully to find the name of the grower. That would be one place to look. Hines Horticulture, for example, markets "Assorted Nonpatent Roses," and this could be one.

In that case, is the current SUNNY DeLIGHT orginally BUCCANEER 1952 ? ? I saw Sunny at WalMART and it very closely resembles the Mr B. shown in these photos; this Rose business is so darn confusing!

Do you grow both roses? Some rose producers feel entitled to rename roses and sell them under different names once the patent has expired. Sometimes the original label is long gone.

This rose, which is reported to be so terrific and for which there is virtually no information, has all the hallmarks of a ROR (renamed old rose). While it isn't technically an Old Garden Rose, hybrid teas and grandifloras have been around long enough for older varieties to have lost their identities.

The rose being sold as "Grandma's Yellow" is another that probably suffered the same fate. I will see if I can buy Sunny Delight in the Bay Area and compare the two.

SUNNY DeLIGHT is on sale at WalMART in the Silicon Valley, CA for $8. It appears tall, few thorns, deep yellow, and does have a nice scent, although this description page declares it to be scentless!

I recently purchased a bagged Sunny Delite from a Home Depot near Edmonton, Alberta. It is labeled as a Hybrid Tea and was supplied by Mea Nursery in Lindale, Texas. www.mea-nursery.com

They seem to carry Certified so it was possibly a limited carry by Certified in that time frame.

Just bought from local orchard hardware, surprisingly found great bloom form among pure yellow roses. St. Patrick, Honey Boquet, Elina, Aperitif and this one are my favorite yellows so far. Disagreed with Sunny Delight compare to Grandma's Yellow or BUCCANEER, because totally different bloom form and petal counts...see my pics

I dont think its those roses, either. I would hazard a guess that its an Ollie Weeks creation or another warm-area breeder from the USA of HTs from that era.

'Sunny Delight' has been a wonderful rose in my garden since 2006 when the garden center I worked for received it by mistake. This awful winter caused its demise...anyone know where I can get another? Last I knew, it was PPAF...

Maybe take a look under the Buy From Tab for this rose?
