I would say it sort of but not quite rhymes. It's not the same sound, but close enough for most poetry.

Yeah. I would not argue with Andres if he called it "slant rhyme", because it actually more-or-less rhymes.

Hoorah has the same sound as flower.
Frog has the same sound as coffee.

Flower and coffee do not have the same o sound in my pronunciation.
