Female parent is probably Abraham Darby. The parentage is flipped, but its still likely it. Besides, Yellow Cushion is a pretty rare rose. Why would someone go out of their way to replicate a winning rose, but with a less efficient seed parent? Seems unlikely.
Does Sonia Rykiel rebloom quickly and often? In the description of the plant here it says "occasional repeat bloom later in the season." That doesn't sound very promising. I would appreciate hearing from those who have this rose what their experience has been -- how many flushes of bloom in a year and how subsequent flushes compare to the first. Thanks!

I have found that it reblooms as well as my David Austin rebloomers. I get two major flushes; one in late June or early July, and one in September. It is beautiful and very fragrant. However, I do find the stems to be thin and the blooms droop.
