"Manchester Guardian Angel" rose Reviews & Comments

I can't contribute any notions about ID except to say that a rose which has been found in multiple places, not in the same neighborhood, is unlikely to be a chance seedling.
I can say that it is one of the strongest, toughest roses I have grown. I had it in a southwest facing corner, bright sun bouncing off a wood fence, and it not only survived but flourished.
I do hope it remains in commerce, perhaps could be renamed "Guardian Angel" for better sales?

Does anyone have any theories on the identity? It seems pretty widespread. It could be inferred that it was a commonly known rose at some point?

This rose bloomed for the first time in June. Not well-known. The tea-like bud is urn shaped, 3", with the tips flaring outwards. The outer petals are off-white with the center pale apricot. Full, tossled petals fading to blush when open. Deliciously sweet fragrance. Little leaf spot despite almost continuous rain. Available from Vintage Gardens which may classify it as a tea-noisette.

Actually, in a cool climate, it can be pretty yaller.
