Yellow Rose 1
Two rose bushes in the yard where I live provide only a few beautiful flowers every year. This is the first of 2 photos that I will post of it opening. |

hahhaha . there's a lovely song about this... an oldie...
As far as I know writen after the stopping of slavery
The tune was first published in 1853 by an author identified only as "J.K.". It was a popular Confederate marching song during the Civil War and with the U.S. Cavalry on western outposts and along the cattle trails following the Civil War. In 1955 the tune was a hit record and I have this very song on an old album of Guy Mitchell
There's a yellow rose of Texas
That I am going to see,
No other fellow knows her,
No other, only me.
She cried so when I left her,
It like to break my heart,
And if I ever find her
We never more will part.
She's the sweetest rose of color
A fellow ever knew,
Her eyes are bright as diamonds,
They sparkle like the dew.
You may talk about your dearest May
and sing of Rosa Lee,
But the Yellow Rose of Texas
Beats the belles of Tennessee.
Oh, now I'm going to find her,
For my heart is full of woe,
And we'll sing the song together,
That we sung long ago;
We'll play the banjo gaily,
and we'll sing the songs of yore,
and the Yellow Rose of Texas
Shall be mine forevermore.
A real wonderful image of this yellow bud Jim!
Cheers,
Anneke
