It was later released by Young in 1977 on the compilation Decade. Homegrown finally saw release in 2020, rendering Young's recording of the song no longer unique to Decade.
The melody for "Love Is a Rose" was taken from another as-yet unreleased song "Dance, Dance, Dance," which finally saw release on Live at Massey Hall 1971 in 2007. Young's longtime backing band Crazy Horse recorded the song, with the title "Dance, Dance, Dance", in 1971 on their album Crazy Horse and The New Seekers released it as a single in 1972.
