Mine is fragrant in 90F weather. Moderate scent, similar to some completely yellow roses. Whatever that scent is called (not the lemon/fruit type scent, but the other one common to yellows).
Also, currently, its more orange, with gold-orange underlining, and a little bit of coral cherry at the edges. Definitely a superior rose to 'Ay Caramba!', which it replaced. The color gives me the same feeling the first time I saw the 'Dee Bennett' miniature rose, except 'Volcano' has some darker tones, as well.
No signs of downy in a downy prone spring.

any hip set?
also how do the blooms age, assume the yellow underlay fades complete but the overlay looks like it kind of stays the same?

I wasn't trying to use it for hips, but the pollen works.
The petals do stay a bit longer than they should and become cream and coral pink. Its not bad. Would be better if they dropped cleanly but its not bad.
I would rate this as one of the better intros of the year, and definitely a welcome intro to the warm-toned roses.

So, a "floritea" type? Like Kanegem, Ruby Red, Viva, Sonia etc? Ahh, hmmm. Clear as mud.
Edit: After growing it out, the answer is obvious: Upright floribunda in tight clusters. So a bit like 'Mardis Gras' plant habit.
