As noticed in the bud in this picture, these blooms look like they are going to be a sunny yellow. However, once opened, they turn to a creamy yellow, which is not to say it is bad, just different than what one might expect. So there are varying shades from sunny yellow to cream on the shrub at the same time, which is nice. My own rose bush is in shade in the morning and about 4 hours sun in the evening.
This rose definitely is fragrant and fills the air... no need to put your nose into the blooms!
I have not had much problem with pests other than Japanese beetles and have not had much of an issue with disease either.
