'Lemon Bells' rose Reviews & Comments

Sunshine Environmentals Wholesale Nursery (New Zealand) sells a yellow Simplicity™ rose they call 'Yellow Splash'.
The pics of 'Yellow Simplicity' look very much like the 'Yellow Splash' I photographed in Lexington, KY.
Does anyone know if these are the same?

The first thing I noticed in the photos of Y. Simp. is that they look the rose is bred from Friesensöhne.
From your photos of Y. Splash, it is hard to tell, because the foliage is obscured. I am also noting maybe more petals?
If I squint hard enough, the foliage in your 2nd photo is reminiscent of the Friesensöhne line, but when I could the petals of the 1st photo, I could 5 more than the average for Y. Simp., and they seem more round. Perhaps they are sisters (or differing non-Friesensöhne parents). J/P was known to sell sisters to North America and Aus/NZ during the 1990s. One of each to each continent.

It does seem to have more petals.
I added three more pictures showing more of the foliage. Here is one of them.

I see slight variation in almost every primary trait, but they do look plausibly related.
J/P Patents were always as awful as Kordes patents. Clear as mud.
"The primary objective of this breeding was to produce a new rose variety having the bright yellow flowers and healthy, glossy, dark green foliage of the unnamed yellow floribunda seedling female parent combined with the bright yellow flowers, glossy foliage and tall, vigorous growth habit of the unnamed yellow shrub male parent. "
Sounds like Sunflare x Friesensöhne. More often than not, "seedling" was a fabrication to protect their trade secrets. I've read more patents than I care to admit, and only in a portion of occasions has time shown that the stated seedlings were truly hybrid seedlings and not a known cultivar.
