I've not grown Leander, but I've seen a lot of pictures of it. And they all depict a rose with some yellow in the flower. (I know that color can be highly variable in some DA roses, but I have no reason to believe it is nearly this variable in Leander) Austin describes Leander's color as "deep apricot" which this definitely is not. Austin's The English Roses depicts a flower distinctly apricot in color, cupped and quartered. I don't see any of that organization in this flower. Although it is a little bit too closed to show quartering, it still looks a little too informal compared to my expectations. I would definitely send DA roses a photo of the flower and ask for a replacement.
When you dance with nature, try not to step on her toes.
