Unknown yellow rose

**"Christopher P. Lindsey" lindsey@mallorn.com>**

Hi all,

I've been going through some boxes of unlabeled slides from 1995 and came
across this unknown yellow rose.  I have no idea where I took it, and the
only thing that I know is that it's a species rose photographed around June 
or so:

The flowers are double, so it's not Rosa hugonis.  Could this be Rosa
x harisonii?  I thought the flowers on that cross were borne singly, 
but this photograph seems to suggest more than one bloom clustered
together.

I thought Rosa foetida (one of the parents of R. x harisonii) could be
a possibility too, but again, they're borne freely.  I suppose I could
be wrong and this could be a cultivar after all, like R. foetida 
'Persiana', but I'm really not sure.  I would have thought that I would
remember the unpleasant odor when photographing these anyhow...

I know it's a long shot, but does this jump out at anyone as something
familiar?  I hope so...

Thanks,

Chris
