Greg,  

ALMOST SUNSET is classified as a yellow "blend," and the yellow is on the reverse.  It is however more of an orange blend in my opinion, and it even tends to get a red blush as it ages.   This rose was a J&P test rose in 1995.  It has the codename of "Jacolly" and has the deep pink HELLO DOLLY as a parent.  It was never marketed in the USA, but only in Australia and New Zealand.  It's actually one of my favorite roses.  I don't understand why J&P never introduced it here, as it does very well in my climate.

Beth,

Are you sure about this one ? If so, what an interesting and unusual variation.

This was an odd older bloom that sort of changed with the temps. It is normally more orange with a yellow reverse.
