Rose Listing Omission

Wooroolin Wonder (Study Name)

Looks like President Herbert Hoover. Opinions welcome.
A rose found in the garden of a house dating back to the 1920s/30s. It features a full flower of 10cm with dark cerise pink all around the outside and cream in the middle, at other times of year looks like light pink all over, or cream all over. The trunk of this plant has a circumference of 15cm+. Grown upright, almost in the form of a standard. Grows in lawn. Retains almost full green leaf in midwinter, in a frost prone region. 5 leaflets, with occassional 7. Stem growth initially green, darkening to maroon/brown on sun exposed upper sides. No prickles.

It's looking very good for Mrs Dudley Cross. I will visit it in Spring for close ups. I've been visiting it for a year, and finally plucked up courage to talk to the house owner (who only bought the house this year and has no idea of its name either)
