When we moved to this location the harison's yellow rose bush was planted under a spreading maple tree. As the tree grew, shading the bush more each year, it became quite spindly. The maple tree was cut down about 5 years ago as it was burned and the trunk had split. It had been beside our front porch and caught fire when our house burned.
The rose bush was slightly burned/scorched, but it has grown quite a bit since having more sun exposure now. It continues to put out many more shoots from under the ground and has grown in width to about 6 feet across.
I would like to know the best way to propagate this type of rose as my efforts to separate a rooted shoot have not been successful.

Have had this one for several years, was given a start from a bush that was going to be dug out due to a road being widened. Please be aware, this is not a beside-the-porch-in-the-front-yard rose, although, once you smell its fragrance you will wish it were. It is the thorniest thing you will ever see, and will eat you alive if you get into it! We have it planted on a south-facing driveway bank that is too steep to mow where it can grow however it wants & it seems very happy there without much being done to it other than some fertilizer once a year. Only one annual bloom, but oh, that beautiful, blazing yellow & the fragrance! Also, it is about the first rose to bloom each year in this area.

We planted this bush in the fall of 2008. After blooming for the first time this spring, the young bush threw out new growth with bigger leaflets, and it has grown very rapidly this summer. We did not offer it any winter protection (in Northwest Indiana), though it was under snow for a good portion of the season. I sprayed it periodically this spring and summer for Japanese beetles, which attacked the flowers, and for thrips, which caused considerable damage to the leaves last fall. When it gets bigger, I think it will withstand the thrips damage without any intervention. Lovely flowers, attractive foliage. So far, I'm very happy with this hardy little bush.
