Here is another view.

Doesn't look QUIET like Jude, but maybe...Does she smell lemony?!

It is fragrant. I don't know if it is lemony though. I see a lot of pictures of Jude that are more of a peach color. This one has taken on more peach hues later in the summer but is more of an ivory color in it's earliest flushes. I really would like to identify it because, after MANY failed attempts from several different roses, I finally have my first two successful footings from this rose. It also seems to do very well in my (Indiana) zone. I've looked through listings of as many David Austin roses as I can find and don't see any that look like a closer match.

That's the color sometimes of my Jude (sometimes it looks like the catalog with more yellow, but right now it's the same color as yours). But the unmistakeable trait of Jude is the lemony/citrus fragrance.

That looks very much like Jude the Obscure, I know of no other Austins of that hue with that that deep of a cup shape. More often then not when I see photos of Jude I would describe it as an ivory, even though it is often described on the David Austin site, etc as yellow. I am currently waiting (impatiently) on a band of Jude to arrive from Heirloom, I have heard so much about the fragrance & about the vigorous growth habits, I can't wait to see what this rose can do. Also, the fragrance might just come across to you as something other than lemony, I hear people describe the scent of one rose in different ways all the time, I think everyone might perceive it a little differently.

Whatever you have, it is lovely!
