Father Hugo's Rose, Rosa hugonis, the top picture, and Rosa xanthina spontanea, the bottom picture. These roses are once blooming, single and yellow. The leaves are very similar. I have only had them in my yard for the 2021 growing season. So far, in my yard the differences between these have been the height of the bush and the thornyness. Father Hugo's Rose, so far has been shorter and has more thorns. Neither have bloomed, and I don't expect either will until next spring. As a side note, another name for Father Hugo's Rose is Rosa xanthina f. hugonis. This means that these two roses are closely related. It will be interesting to see how they compare with each other. More to come next year.
