Name That Rose!Roses

Any idea what rose this is?

My daughter recently bought her own house and in the front bed there are three of these rose bushes. They stand about 4.5 feet tall, are very thorny, and no fragrance (that I can discern anyway). Any help would be appreciated!

There is a rose I was reading about that is often mistaken for Harison's Yellow but it is a single petaled bloom instead of double like HY, and more pale like the pictures you are showing. I can't remember the name of it but wondering if this could be it? Might be called William something? Sorry, that wasn't much help!!

I couldn't help but notice how healthy they are, except for being a bit buggy. Especially for a yellow. Sunny Knock Out? This is only a guess.

I thought it could be a knock out too - they are all exactly the same. They are very healthy. The person who lived there previously, her son did her garden and he is a horticulturist at Longwood Gardens (or maybe Winterthur). For that reason I thought knock outs were less likely. But who knows. She has some really interesting plants. The lady who owned the home was retired and she spent a lot of time in the garden - took really great care of it.

Thanks for the ideas. I could go crazy with orange roses apparently! I think I'll have to rule out Amber Queen which does look right but I think this plant has been in the ground longer than the 80s. The previous owner thought it had been in since the greenhouse was installed in the late 50s or early 60s. The classy fence post is newer. :) What makes a climber a climber instead of something that was pruned funny? Aside from the obvious trunks, this one doesn't put out any long branches. But it's had so much "shaping" I can't tell.

There's an interesting choice between 'Sunny Knock Out' and 'Carefree Sunshine', also by Radler. CS has better color IMO, a softer yellow when new and fading less as it ages. But CS needs to be deadheaded to keep blooming, and that's a nearly constant chore. Both are blackspot-resistan and good all around.

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

I bought the white one from Home Depot. Do you agreed it's not, "The Fairy" originally labeled? It also grows like Wedding Dress... very leggy but the blooms are the tiniest I've ever seen. Maybe only 1". Not sure where I bought the others. If I had to guess, Home Depot. It was before I knew I could buy roses online. Not knowing the names of these roses have been driving me crazy for the past few years. Happy to have found this forum.

Had a sunny but never survived the winter or where it was planted. When this lady transplanted this one at the other one to where the others are. Was calling it a sunny that is until a bud appeared on it. Knew then it was no sunny :) Bud was reddish orange in color. Then I thought I wonder if it is that At Last rose?? The first one I got and the fellah ended up planting it at the other end of the garden so he could see it out his window?? Did a search online and found a picture of one with buds opened on it and yep sure looked a lot like that one. Sooo it is the At last rose and not the sunny. Got a picture of the new bud on it. today.

Seil - sorry for the delay - I was on "vacation" so not online much. The flowers are about 2 inches or so. They're single, they have no scent. Very disease resistant. Black spot here is bad and the leaves are pristine (except for bug damage)

Also, it does set hips. Do knockouts?

Golden Wings' foliage is not glossy and it's difficult to see if those flowers have the red stamen Golden Wings does.
