A bit of tidying up is needed. It is this Grandpa’s Rose that is available from Peter Beale and not the Harvey Davidson, 2012 release.
Ref.: Peter Beale catalogue 2025 - 2026, page 114.

Pride of Scotland is a Salmon-Orange rose. (Mmine is.) This appears red. Is this the correct rose?

The colour is describes as deep pink aging to salmon pink. The photo was taken in New Zealand, the country where the rose originated. I am happy that it is correct. Have a look at Cliff’s photograph which has a similar colour.

That appears to be red to me!
, rather than deep pink. I cannot see it aging to salmon pink. I understand that roses are different under various growing conditions, however. Cliff's photos are often a bit misleading, in my experience. Thank you for your input. My Pride of Scotland is a deep salmon color. I will watch for variation.

This does not appear to be 'Eiffel Tower' based on colour AND form

I am inclined to agree despite differences in climate and soil.
This is a strong reason why there needs to be a Photographic Administrator as it unlikely to be taken down given that the member has not visited HMF for more than one year or probably more accurately the last photograph from the member was posted in May 2020.

A great picture showing the mutation's partial reversion back to Iceberg.
The rose has some controversy behind the discoverer - Edgar Swane or Lilia Weatherly. It was exhibited by Swane's Nurseries in the 2005 Australian National Rose Trial where it won a gold medal as best in the trial. Swane listed the discoverer as Weatherly.
