Harison’s Yellow also known as the Oregon Trail Rose and the Yellow Rose of Texas is a hybrid rose cultivar which originated as a chance hybrid seedling of Rosa foetida. The cultivar first bloomed at the suburban villa of George F. Harison attorney between 8th and 9th Avenues on 32nd Street north of New York City. The site of Harison’s villa is now just south of the present General Post Office. The nurseryman William Prince of Long Island took cuttings and marketed the rose in 1830.
