help with a guess of a rose from my childhood

When I was a young, I had 4 roses--one red, one white, one yellow and one orange.

I know the orange was Tropicana. I'm pretty sure the white was John F. Kennedy and the red was Chysler Imperial but I don't have a clue as to the yellow.

I remember it being a nice soft sort of butter yellow color with big HT blooms. It had a milder fragrance than Tropicana but it did have a nice fragrance.

I was kind of "prune happy" so I don't think it got over 4-5 feet tall in a summer. I don't remember thorns or leaves.

It would have had to have been something relatively easy to come by in the late 70's since I'm sure I got it somewhere easy like a local nursery or K-mart or somewhere like that.

Any ideas? I'll probably never know for absolute sure, but it would be nice to at least have a good guess.
