credit where credit is due; I have not grown this rose for long, but it has matched the expectations this page built.
In the few months since ive bought the rose from Burlington, it has attempted to thrive and recently sent out three "mini-blooms" despite the desert heat. similar to the photos others have provided, the color is a pretty consistent orange-ish brownish that will rapidly bleach out in the heat & sun. It has stayed a very tiny bush, but interestingly, does seem to be establishing itself if that makes sense.
All in all, if you have the space, money, and experience and are looking for a latte-colored rose, i would not not recommend this rose, will update as needed. *I also second the shaded lighting

HERE'S A GOOD TIP.  I HAVE 2 OF THESE ROSES, ONE IN FULL SUN, ONE IN FILTERED SHADE.  BOTH GROW WELL, BUT THE ONE IN THE SHADIER SPOT HAS BETTER COLORED FLOWERS.  THE ONE IN THE FULL SUN BLEACHES OUT TO PINKISH BLAH AFTER ONE DAY, THE SHADED ONES HAVE NICE CREAMY COFFEE COLORED FLOWERS AND BROWN BUDS.  SOUNDS WEIRD, BUT BESIDES ORANGES N' LEMONS, I DONT HAVE ANY OTHER ROSE THAT GETS MORE ATTENTION FROM VISITORS.

Agreed. I have mine in a spot that gets dappled shade till about noon, and the rose color I think is much better as a result. This rose also has, or can have, a really unusual melon fragrance, in my experience anyway. Brand-new plant and still small, but really worth the effort so far.

I tried growing this rose but it never really thrived and died very soon after I got it. I was very disappointed. In the short time I had it I only had a very scant few blooms and they were all very small and pretty non-descript, so I really never got a real good feel for them at all. In veiwing the pictures of the rose here on HMF there really seems to be a very wide range of blooms. Not the color really because I know that there will be a variation of shades with this color and there is always the change from the odd pink color all the way to the dark to light browns. I am more interested in the number of petals of the blooms. Some picture show a fairly packed petal base and some show very light concentration of petals. The description of the flowers say the petal count is a meager 15 petals, but it is obvious to me that there are many (read it, "most") pictures that show blooms with many more petals than just 15. How many petals do your blooms of Irish Creme generally have?
Also, I am curious about scent. My few little blooms had very little but I think it is written this is heavily perfumed. Is your IC blooms perfumed heavily or at all?
Also, was my non-vigorous plant an unfortunate uncommon thing? Or is this usually a good vigorous growing and blooming rose that I still hope to own some day.
In short, would you recommend others to purchase this Irish Creme rose or do you tend to steer them away from purchasing it??
Thanks for all your answers and help as I do appreciate them immensely.
My best as always!!! John

Irish Crème is the current record holder for the quickest removal from my garden. I bought a nice big bareroot last winter and planted it out in a 10 gallon can. It produced moderate-sized, tightly scrolled blooms in the spring. I removed it from my Northern California garden by the end of May. It was so rust-ridden after the spring flush that I know it cannot be grown here without chemical intervention.
