mine smells strongly of earl grey tea with a fruity undertone. really nice smelling rose.
*edit: meant to post that below. i'll report back at the end of the season if it sets hips. many DAs are not sterile. i have hips right now on james galway, lady of shalott, winchester cathedral, st swithun, graham thomas...

The flowers are too packed for my preference, but that’s excusable, as the scent is bordering on unpleasant for me, with green undertones dominated by an old hard candy smell (it’s specific but the ones with flower motifs that are left for ages somewhere looking beautiful but tasting stale), despite liking anise it is hard to recognize it.

The photos don't really look "deep" yellow at all. Seeing how these comments here also make mention of the shade bein pale, would that be something worth correcting in the description?

I think our perception of “deep yellow” in a rose shifted with the advent of Pernetianas (around 1910).

I don't know why this rose isn't planted more widely - it is a very beautiful rose, it looks similar to a hybrid tea in shape, it is very vigorous and extremely healthy. The cut flowers are a lovely yellow.

The descriptions are based on early references. It is possible that 'Amazone' in commerce is not the original rose.
