I wanted to see a photo of all american bride and to find a nursery that still carries it, mine died and I would love to have another one. Burpee hasn't carried it for years

Hi, I did manage to root a couple of these this summer, if youre stil interested. They are little more than rooted cuttings at this point, I can pot them up and hold them over the winter for spring shipment if you want. Let me know.

Hi, I am interested to buy a rooted cutting. I mail ordered it years ago from Burpee but they shipped a dried up bare root plant. I never did get to try growing one. Thanks, Peter

Anybody have any luck with Elle in zone 5? Sometimes I'm willing to take a chance, but every catalog and book desription I've seen , except one, list zone 6 as the minimum. Otherwise I would have snapped up the one I saw 2 summers ago at Lowe's. Fell in love with the scent and big bloom.

I received this rose as part of the J&P test roses for 2006. It's very vigorous, and an upright grower. The color does not fade in the sun and heat. Great repeat, and good disease resistance. I'm strongly considering buying a few more and making a hedge.

I agree with Ehann about the fine qualities of this Welcome Home HT yellow rose. I also got my Welcome Home as part of the J&P Test Rose Panel. It was a standout from the very beginning. The bush is super vigorous and constantly putting on new basals so it has plenty of canes to really load up with beautiful, big, well formed, and non-fading medium yellow blooms on strong necks so they don't nod. I just wish there were a bit more fragrance. I rarely detect more than a minor whiff of scent from it. I haven't seen any fungus on my bush from day one and it breezes through winter with more green cane left than not. I do spray for thrips in the Spring because they attack all the light colored rose blooms including the medium yellow blooms on Welcome Home. Cucumber Beetles seem to find it delicious as well, but they do so little damage I don't spray for them as a rule. I highly recommend this lovely yellow rose for anyones garden. UPDATE 11/2010 NOw I have grown this for 4 years I have grown to appreciate what a truly great yellow garden display rose this is. The bush continues to be very vigorous growing and healthy and puts up lots of new basals all year long. It continually puts up new basal canes for more and more bloom production. My bush now has enough basal canes that I could easily split it up and end up with two or three bushes if I so desired. The growth habit is pretty much straight up so it doesn't encroach on it's neighbors. It gets tall at about 6' tall quickly early in the Spring. I very rarely see any blackspot and have never seen any mildew at all. The blooms are gorgeous butter yellow and don't fade at all even in direct sun. They have great substance and can have excellent exhibition form for those that show their roses. It does need feeding to help with the exhibition blooms but not too much or you will get muddled centers. The cut rose lasts for many days in a vase and on the bush for 10-12 days depending on the weather. The stems are quite long, strong, and straight under the blooms and are usually a bit thorny too. I think the Fall of the year shows it's best blooms. It seems to like the cooler weather. The blooms are larger and a deeper yellow and still hold their color with no fading of color all the way to deadheading. The blooms get up to 6" across in size in the cooler temps of Fall as well. I even have flushes when the nighttime temps get down to the mid-20's which is quite unusual for a yellow colored rose. Most yellow roses are winter tender, but this one seems to be more accepting of it. I live in zone 5 north of Kansas City and don't winter protect my garden roses and they all seem to make it through just fine. It is a shame this rose isn't more widely known and grown as I think it is by far the best garden yellow rose on the market today. For some reason it seems that J&P didn't really do much advertising of this rose compared to some others that aren't near as good a rose as Welcome Home seems to be. If you like yellow roses you shouldn't be without this one. It really makes a great display rose because of the large quantity and size of the blooms as well as the quick repeat between the flushes. The excellent foliage health makes it very easy to care for by the novice rosarian so it is a good starter rose as well. John

We just bought this rose via mail order for J&P, and are hoping it will be as wonderful for us as its parent, Sun Goddess. We had her back in the '90's and she was magnificent in our front yard garden. Lots of sun and heat, being in Stockton CA and in full sun nearly all the day. If Welcome Home can live up to that, we'll be thrilled.
Best regards, Robert and Lon

Somebody on Ebay is using this shot to sell a modern magic rose bush! lol. I saw the listing this morning.

Yes, I contacted them a couple of days ago about it as I periodically cruise the listings and they are using 4 of my images. No reply yet so I guess I need to step up my threat.

Please email the support department with a link so they can check if this is a repeat offender.

I believe in this case these were all taken from DavesGarden.com as one of my images was not listed on HMF but all were listed there. But you can do an eBay search for Modern Magic and see if he has lifted any others from here.
Update, I just checked and it looks like my message to this seller worked as all of the ones using my images have been removed.

Please email us the seller's name. If it is one of the repeat offenders we need to let ebay know.
