It does look very much 'Lorraine Lee' to me. You should be able to tell it by it's distinctive fragrance, comparing it to known specimens.

Thank you for the feed back. I look forward to Spring when I can compare fragrances. Would it be safe for me to move all OPH26 E01 photos to Lorraine Lee, Alister Clark Hybrid Gigantea, Tea?

Maybe wait for more responses before reassigning the photos. 'Lorraine Lee' is an excellent winter-flowerer. I'm not sure how well it would fare in Canberra, but if it's flowering there now or at least looking like it isn't dormant, that would be another reason to suggest 'Lorraine Lee' as an identity.

Both the Lorraine Lee climbers and bush on the Tennis courts still have the odd flower. This specimen threw me as it is on the small size (although it has to be pruned back hard because there are so many roses within such as small garden). I will hold off just in case more comments come through.
