Who Wins

Pre-6, your W is the primary threat in this lane because it is a point-and-click root that Morgana cannot Black Shield preemptively unless she reads it perfectly, and landing W onto Ashe while Yunara pokes creates real kill pressure.
Post-6, Yunara's R transforms your combo into a genuine kill pattern — W root into Yunara's laser W slow is nearly inescapable for Ashe — but Morgana's Black Shield on Ashe will block your W root, so you must bait the shield first or target Morgana instead.

Your best pattern is to walk up aggressively to bait Morgana's Black Shield onto Ashe, then back off and wait for the shield to expire before throwing W — a Morgana without Black Shield available is a free kill setup for Yunara during R.
If Black Shield is on cooldown, immediately W Ashe and have Yunara activate R to maximize the laser W slow into your root for a kill.

You should roam when Yunara has R available and the wave is pushed — Yunara can hold the lane with her Q active and W poke, and your roam mid with R available is a strong kill threat.
Avoid roaming when the wave is crashing toward your tower, as Ashe's wave clear will deny Yunara CS and the roam trade will not be worth it.

Do not use W as your first ability in an all-in without confirming Black Shield is down — wasting your root into a Black Shield means Yunara's R window is partially wasted and you have no follow-up CC for 13+ seconds.
Maokai players in this matchup frequently forget that Morgana's Q outranges your W, so walking forward to W range without a minion wave to path through is how you eat a root and lose the trade.
