This rose looks amazing for its era. It should have been in the US!

Yes, it should have. Perhaps under another name? I have checked the Proof of the Puddings up until 1959 and it didn't appear. HelpMeFind had the parentage as (Independence x Independence) and I don't know where that came from. I've changed it to (Independence x Circus). Here is a little more on 'Toni Lander':

1961 American Rose Annual
p241. Rose Cultivar Names. Toni Lander (D. T. Poulsen ’61). (Kordes Sondermeldung x Circus). Open, fluffy, light lively orange-rose bloom borne several together and in clusters; slight fragrance. Light green foliage which is reddish in autumn; hardy and free growing. Very free flowering.

1961 Australian Rose Annual
p59. Sam McGredy. Europe 1960. ….The [Madrid] Spanish garden is undoubtedly the finest in Europe. I have never seen such wonderful Hybrid Teas. They are so good and so prolific that Floribundas are not very numerous. It was rather surprising, therefore, to see a Danish raised Floribunda, Toni Lander come from its cool climate and win a gold medal in its section. With us here in Ireland it is probably the most prolific bloomer of all and the orange-scarlet flowers hold their colour better than ‘Jiminy Cricket’
p60. ibid. In the cooler climates of Scandinavia,Toni Lander and…. as the winners of the Nord Rose Trials.

Seems to have the praise it needed. Maybe it faded into the sunset of business politics and marketing.
