It's not a mini for sure. You will either need to get it planted in the ground or get it a MUCH bigger pot. Give it some time to mature and see what it's growth habits are. Keep lots of records and photos as it's maturing. All that information will help in determining what rose it is. The fact that it has no fragrance is a clue but there are a lot of HTs that don't have any fragrance at all. Most of the ones bred during the 50s, 60s and 70s had no fragrance because it wasn't a breeding priority. It's only more recently that breeders have been trying to put the scent back into roses. Can you possibly go back to that vendor and ask them what it might be? They should know what plants they've grown and sold.

It looks a lot like my "Distant Drums" in bloom. Do the blooms change color as they age? My "Distant Drums" starts in a buttery yellow with the purple rim, but the blossom turns to a pale lavender as it ages. http://www.heirloomroses.com/roses/unusual-color-roses/distant-drums.html http://www.helpmefind.com/gardening/l.php?l=2.1538 http://www.thegracefulgardener.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/2012-03-30_4947_edited-11.jpg

There are several yellow hybrid teas it could be. Look at Midas Touch, Oregold and Gold Medal but there are tons of others too.

Patty, that is good to know that she ended up going own root eventually. I'm hoping Pat will have some FFT that she can send me, if not Palatines unless Chamblee's decides to carry her. I'm wanting a few of these since so many state she stays small. I have 'Kosmos' coming from RU and have an older own root 'Sisters Fairy Tale' that does really well and stays small. I can't hope to have "one of each" like so many of the rose growers here since I don't get the 8 hours of sun so many roses require in any part of my yard, the best is about 5 hours of sun. I just want roses that will do well in my limited sunlight gardens, are black spot resistant and can survive our crazy, erratic winter weather and stay manageable in size. Scent is a bonus. Kordes do very well as do Easy Elegance. My 'Champagne Wishes' bought own root last year is huge and loaded with buds. That's the kind of roses I want to grow :-)
