My husband and I just moved into a new house and we inherited a lot of plants and flower I can't identify.

One on the top of my list is what I suspect to be a "wild" rose bush. This bush is heavily populated with thorns, much more than the typical rose bush. Also, it only blooms once a year (right now, late spring). The blooms are yellow and about 3 in. in diameter.

The other unique quality to this bush is that it seems to have baby shoots all around it. I can't tell if they are shooting up from the roots of the mature bush, or if they are sprouts from seedlings, but these sprouts have the same (painful) dense amount of thorns.

Any ideas on what type of rose bush this is and how I should maintain it?

Thanks.
