The photos are really pretty. Definitely descends from Pernets, but the foliage is too nice to be purely Pernet type. The foliage is really pretty in the photos.

The blooms are somewhat longer-lasting than your typical "here today, gone today" Pernetiana, too. Last three days each, at least.

Vintage also had 'Mevrouw G. A. van Rossem' and 'Heinrich Wendland', so it is obviously not either of those.

I have not seen it in person, so it is hard to judge, but some of the traits resemble wichurana traits, sometimes seen in Brownell's roses, and I see in my own hybrids. The foliage density, foliage shine, prickle type. But this is a standard bush type?

Yes -- it grows tall over the course of the summer, vigorously extending its canes, but, still, like a typical bush.

I wish I could help further. The foliage is a lot like Orange Ruffels and Lafter, which have a similar plant type, too. I looked at all sorts of Brownell Roses, as well as roses from Golden Glow. I don't know what this rose actually is. In some photos, Orange Ruffels *almost* looks the same, but I think that is coincidental.

There is variability in the color of the bloom. So far, the posted photos of the blooms are mostly in the apricot, orange or straw phase, but it does become a clear yellow sometimes. I've just put up a little photo of it in a bud vase showing the yellow phase. It is a mystery -- the virus likely indicating it was once a commercial variety, but no obvious candidates.

Wow, yeah. The color range is wide. The petal shape is uncommon for Pernet types too.

Just FYI-- I have both Orange Ruffels and Lundy's Lane Yellow and they are very different roses.

Thanks for the update on this mystery! Do you have other Brownell roses or roses that look like this mystery rose?

The pedicel prickles, the veining on the petals, and the deep green leaves are all directing my thoughts to something like 'Mevrouw G. A. Van Rossem' or a relation of that rose. I am in the middle of adding references for Mevrouw and note that there are a couple of other similar roses mentioned that you might like to investigate.

No, I don't Right now, my Lundy isn't doing so well--I don't think it likes our Oregon climate as well as California, plus, I'm afraid I've let some other plants encroach on it. Which is all to say I don't have a lot to look at right now. It has never grown very well for me; I'll have to decide whether to keep it. Orange Ruffels, on the other hand, I've had for many years now, and while it stays small it is quite healthy and a reliable bloomer.

Not in the references, but here is its entry in the Vintage Garden Book of Roses: "Lundy's Lane Yellow", HT, rrr/fff/3, unknown, found [Lowery, found]. "An old Pernetiana of golden-salmon to clear yellow to straw, small but full and well-formed. Apple-green foliage abundantly covers this shapely shrub."

Thank you Deborah. Added. I have also added the tiny clues you give with your photographs. Well done! Vintage said "apple green" foliage, but the photos look 'Peace'-ish deep green to me and so I have added "deep green" foliage.

Yes, I've always wondered about that "apple-green" description for the leaves -- always dark green here.
