How does this rose compare to 'André Schwartz', which was usually crimson with occasional white stripes, but was also considered (at least by one American grower c. 1884) to be variable in color?

I only ask because the 'Beauté Inconstante' ID seems to lack full confidence somehow...

Maybe even 'Garden Robinson' (G. Nabonnand, 1901) could be considered. There is something about the habit and foliage of "Mrs. Heggie's Red Tea" that reminds me of 'General Gallieni' whose parent was 'Souvenir de Therese Levet' . The pollen parent of 'Garden Robinson' was also SdTL and the age of introduction is about right for the property on which "Mrs. Heggie's Red Tea" was found.
