The Yellow Rose Main Cast

The Yellow Rose is an American television series. It was broadcast on the NBC network during the 1983-1984 season. It was produced by Paul Freeman.

The series was at least partly inspired by the more coltish elements of the hit soap opera Dallas, and dealt with the intrigues of the Texas-based ranch-owning Champion family. The show also boasted a strong cast that included Sam Elliott, David Soul, Edward Albert, Cybill Shepherd, Chuck Connors, Noah Beery, Jr., Ken Curtis, and Jane Russell. The Yellow Rose failed to capture the public imagination and was canceled after one season of twenty-two episodes.

In the summer of 1990, the series was rerun again on NBC along with the short-lived Bret Maverick starring James Garner.
