I found it climbing up a fence with some other big 'ol vine. Couldn't tell much about this one, because it was barely poking through the other on. It's a really small flower, no bigger than a quarter. Looks like some wierd cross between a mini-rose and a mum.
quote:R. banksiae 'Lutea' Syn R. 'Yellow Banksia' A vigorous climber, the Yellow Banksia rose smothers itself in soft yellow flowers in spring. Almost thornless it is great for planting near walkways, where many thorned climbing roses are a hazard.
Named for Lady Banks, R. banksiae lutea was introduced to England from China in 1824. It was popular with the early colonists in New Zealand and is found in many old gardens
This is the hardiest of the banksia roses but will thrive only in frost-free gardens. Prune only lightly as flowers are carried on second and third-year wood. Cultivation Plant on a strong fence or pergola as a mature plant will reach 10m (30ft) and as wide. Prefers full sun in a good, well-drained soil. Propagation Cuttings

I think that's it! I noticed that it didn't really have thorns, but it looked like it WANTED to have thorns. Thanks, g-mom! Gotta get me some of these...
