After blooming two canes with a different leaf pattern shot up and produced multiple red roses very similar to the description and picture of Doctor Huey. Is Persian yellow a grafted rose? I thought it is a shrub with its own roots.

This is truely one of the great heirloom roses with the most fantastic and intense fragrance. Unlike newer roses this rose blooms only once a year but is smothered in double and semi-double blossoms for several weeks in late spring/early summer. The intense spicy fragrance lingers well after the petals have fallen. You can smell a large persian rose bush in full bloom from several houses away.

The Persian Rose is very winter hardy and does not die back even in zone 4 (and possible colder). It can become quite large. I've seen bushes 6' tall by 8' wide. Persian roses are very thorny and can be difficult to prune. They are long-lived (50+ years).
