Thank you, Margaret.
I think that only your and Shinobu's pictures here are showing the right rose!

We thought so too here, last time we looked at them. Mrs Foley Hobbs is a very prickly rose, and it hangs its head. No yellow tinge.
Mrs Dudley Cross is thornless or nearly so, and Billy Teabag says it looks like lemon meringue pudding (which isn't a helpful simile if your mother didn't cook that!)
There is a colour photo of a box of Mrs Foley Hobbs in the 1927 Rose Annual opposite p 74, reproduced in the Tea Rose book.
