Long shot - anyone able to ID this rose for me?

Big shrub in our front garden, about 2 metres high, beautiful double, flattish blooms that start off bright yellow and fade to a much paler shade within a few days. Buds have pronounced reddish-pink edges but there's no pink in the full bloom. Strong lemon-tea scent. Does have large hips (don't we all?!)

I thought it might be DA Golden Celebration but those blooms definitely have the pinky tinge which mine don't! Any thoughts, experts??

Looks like Arthur Bell….

The rain has just battered mine so I’ve not got a great pic but is it anything like this?

Looks a bit bright for golden celebration, and mine doesn't produce hips.

Beautiful rose! Watching with interest

@ohfourfoxache oooh could be! It's definitely quite similar in your pics.

@helly29 it really is lovely, and smells divine too.

Golden Showers? Very popular yellow rose. My parents had one about 20 years ago. Not sure it produces hips though.

Any of these?

Could it be The Poet’s Wife ?
It looks a slightly different yellow to GS, which is a warmer yellow.

Actually that's a great call @DaleTrimont, it does look very much like it.

Thanks all!
