Beautiful blossom but not 'Dr. F.L. Skinner' which is pale yellow/buff.

I wonder if the rose pictured is the "lost" 'Apple blossom' rose Dr. Skinner sent to Europe?

"By crossing Wm. Godfrey with another of my hybrids I secured four nice roses. One of these, now named "Appleblossom," keeps flowering throughout the summer and is now being tested in Europe where it has already created some interest."

The colour is definitely wrong for 'Dr. F. L. Skinner'. Maybe a friend from Japan can post a picture of the label.
