This photography does not correspond to description that the obtentor gives some: “yellow colour amber”.
In addition, the petals are turned over, which is not the case on this photography, and the foliage is chechmate and not shining as one sees it on your two photographies.

Thanks very much for your comments, Michel. I can see why you questioned whether my photos are of the correct variety. However, I have found that many roses have colors that are more intense when grown in our hot desert climate, so I am careful before deciding that a rose is mislabeled. My Gilbert Becaud was imported from Belle Epoque rose nursery in the Netherlands in 2004 and I have sent an email message to them and have asked them to look at the photos on HelpMeFind and give me their opinion. I will report back after I hear from them.
