This rose is a plae soft warm yellow, I don't really see a shrimp color to the coloring, maybe in warmer weather it will show up? Even with the cooler than normal spring, and even with some hot weather thrown in, and the nights have cooled off, I haven't seen a sign of a color wash. the scent is a very light fruit scent. It is a beautiful rose with the sunset on it, but looks very washed out in bright light. It has lots of thorns.
