Hybridization efforts in the 19th and 20th centuries led to a wider range of vibrant yellow hues and more robust varieties. The 'Persian Yellow' (Rosa foetida 'Persiana') was a significant early introduction, influencing many modern yellow rose cultivars. Today, yellow roses are among the most popular colors in rose cultivation.

The cultivation of yellow roses began in the Middle East, with their introduction to Europe occurring in the late 16th century.
