This photo appears too orange to be 'Whisky'.

I'm sure this rose is Whisky.
Look this picture:

The rose I bought is orange like in the firsth picture.
The second picture is from the Tantau's Catalogue (italian version 2008) and is more yellow.
Maybe there are two different "whiskey"?
I tryed to contact the nursery, but I did not finded them.

It's possible they have reused the name. This creates a lot of confusion but it is common to do so.

do you suggest to remove the picture?
I'll take new picure of this plant in few days and we can have a better idea.

It's up to you as to whether to remove your photo. Roses are often mislabeled from the supplier. If the color is similar it makes things especially confusing. It's happened to me many times.

I have also been told that the Whisky Mac photo that I posted on this site is not a Whisky Mac because it is too orange. I know, when I planted it, the tag said Whisky Mac, but I do see that many photos of this same rose are much more yellow. Maybe there are two different varieties of Whisky Mac?

It is definitely not the commonly known Whisky Mac, which is a blend and sometimes a bicolor. The rose in the photograph is a self, meaning the color is similar on both sides of the petals. Also, the form is too formal, and the foliage is different.
The rose industry can be flimsy with names, so please do not take this as criticism at all :]

I bought my mother 3 Renaissance bare root roses, Isabella, Helena and Clair. I was told they are fairly hearty (we live in Chicago) and can tolerate partial shade. What is the bare mimimum hours of sunlight you would recommend they recieve in a day?

The Renaissance Rose Series is a good one and they are very healthy and hardy but roses in semi shade need a minmum of 4 hours full sunshine , plus shade or a whole day of filtered sun.

Most roses need at least six hours of sunlight a day to do well. They will live and bloom with less but will not perfrom their best with less. I have both Clair and Helena and neither one is a good bloomer even when they get full sunlight all day long. Clair is prettier but Helena smells best.

I have this rose also and it isn't one of my favorites. The soft creamy pink color is beautiful, and it has a lovely fragrance, but it just doesn't bloom well for me and the flowers I do get are often far from perfect.

Could this be the wrong rose?? Whisky Mac usually is not that intense orange color all over like this photo shows.

The tag on the rose said Whiskey Mac. I suppose it could have been mislabeled, however the flower color changes many time between first opening and full bloom, also depending upon the sun angle. This particular photo was taken as the flower was about to fade, as I recall, several days after first bloom. But, you could be right. Roses are occasionally mislabeled.
