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.

Absolutely beautiful flowers, petals in the center unfurl in the most elegant way. Beautiful earthy, fresh, yet sweet fragrance. Can’t comment on its performance over time just yet. Flowers are a 10/10 so far though.

All of the references you mentioned merely repeated the error that went on for decades. Remember, Peter Beales also insisted that his ''Irene Watts' was definitely not 'Pink Gruss an Aachen', and actually listed both at his nursery. If you ordered one of each, you'd get two of the same plant.
And all of those references were written before the true 'Bloomfield Abundance' was rediscovered. Of course the true one looks like a pink Hybrid Tea -- the true one is akin to 'Belinda's Dream' in being a cross between a Wichurana and a Hybrid Tea. And genetic testing confirmed that the imposter is virtually identical to 'Mlle Cecile Brunner'.
I realize these photos were posted a few years ago, but I felt the need to make a point for clarity.
