Need help identifying this flowering plant. Roses?

These were found in Atlanta and were a climbing or bush variety. Lady Banks and Buff Beauty were both suggested. What do you all think?

Rosa banksiae has caducous stipules.....they are often lacking. There is NO doubt in my mind this is a Lady Banks rose! A noted, the round buds are key to the ID.

Agree. I grew Buff Beauty for years and it looks nothing like that.

flowerlilies, Often people who work in garden centers don't really understand much about pests, diseases, and chemicals. You should ask first on the GW forum for the particular kind of plant. And don't believe the first poster who responds, because we can make mistakes too. Though, if we let a reply stand without further comments, that's probably a tacit approval. It's really important not to panic and apply a barrage of remedies before you have a good diagnosis. Also, when you post a question, it's important to give a general idea of where you live, because pests and diseases are regional, rainfall and winter damage can play a role, etc. For example, a diagnosis of scale insects on roses would be more likely if you are in Southern California, Hawaii, or Miami. But rose midge, suggested above, doesn't exist in those places. One thing I can say for certain, the purple spots with lighter centers are either cercospora spot or spot anthracnose, both fungal diseases that usually don't require control measures. Also, there may well be some spray damage, because homemade and "organic" sprays are rather likely to damage plants if not used carefully. Large purple smears are often the result of spray damage. What are you saying is wrong with the open mauve flower? If the grayish things are scale, they will scrape off easily with a fingernail.

Try watering daily for a while and skipping the fertilizer and see if that helps.

How large was it? It looks like Yellow Sunrosa to me. But that one has small leaves and blooms. It can grow tall though.

Guys! look at the bases of the leaves. There are NO STIPULES. none. not a one. No stipules means it isn't a rose.

Take a look at Kerria, which IMO has the correct color and blooms in mid spring in Virginia and other parts of the south east. Kerria japonica, also in Rosaceae

I don't think the leaves are right for Kerria.

The blooms are actually smaller than they might appear in the photo. You all are so great to help me figure this out!

Agree with stillanntn6b, NO STIPULES, thus not a rose.

All the photos I am seing of the Yellow Lady Banks roses look like what I saw. Should I post this on a non-rose thread since it may not actually be a rose?

It looks like Rosa banksiae to me. I wonder if the photograph just doesn't show the stipules well because they are very small, and the camera focused on the blooms. If you do a google image search for banskiae lutea, you will see many other plants that also seem to lack stipules.

The round buds give it away as banksie lutea. Here's a spitting image...

Agree, Lady Banks Rose. It’s quite common in my area, and looks exactly like your pics.

Thanks everyone! Sounds like there is some consensus that this is a Lady Banks Rose. I have not noticed these roses around my area of central Florida so now, I will start the research to see if they are viable here. Especially for a gardening novice!

I'm late to the party, but yes, it's a double yellow Lady Banks' rose -- R. banksiae lutea. They are known for blooming right around "tax day", which is ten days from today. The various Lady Banks' roses should do well for you in Florida, but be aware that they can get huge. This isn't something to climb a trellis or arbor -- they eat trees.
