3 to 5 feet    Z7-11 R my. 'Nacogdoches' or “Grandma’s Yellow” as it is known in some circles, is a real eye catcher! The bright yellow roses appear throughout the growing season on an upright shrub and are excellent for cutting. We feel this rose is a modern Floribunda, but unlike its modern rose cousins, it has proven to be disease resistant

We did have the rose Nacogdoches or Grandma’s Yellow for sale at our plant sale. It’s a yellow rose that was selected as a Texas Superstar in 2010. Dr Larry Stein, AgriLife horticulturist was one of the developers of the Nacogdoches Rose and named it Grandma’s Yellow in honor of his grandmother, Tillie Jungman. Back in 1996 a team comprised of Dr Stein, Greg Grant and Jerry Parson began looking for a yellow rose that was low maintenance, a good performer and easy to root. They found several selections but the one that performed the best was a yellow rose found near an abandoned motel in Nacogdoches. Several selections of this rose grew in Grandma Tillie’s Garden from 1999-2003 where they were noted for high disease resistance. Of the six that were planted one was different and was selected as Grandma’s Yellow Rose.
