Someone suggest it's "Bolshoï"(MEIzuzes), but I think Bolshoi is not that red( more pinkish?), the leaves are not that glossy.(This variety is commonly called 'Caprice de Meilland' in China, but it is clearly a misnomer.)
The color is Vibrant cherry red with a velvety texture, and the back of the petals has a pearlescent or silver hue. Size is 10~12cm. When it is about to wither, its petals will turn purple tone. The fragrance is not strong.
The leaves are very large and quite glossy. The plant is very upright and has good growth.
I noticed the rose "Yakimour", lookes quite alike. but the information is very limited so I still not sure about it.
Does anyone know its real name?

Can anyone comment on how Fiona’s wish compares to Kronenburg? Especially fragrance wise?

Kronenburg is a sport of peace, so it's only mild fragrant, the flower is very big, easily reach 15cm.

For a HT I like this rose. Nice fragrance (lemony but not overly) and bloom form, has many of the usual issues HT's have here in Sydney though, petals tend to fry in summer, if it's humid flowers tend to ball, etc. It does well in early spring and fall though when the weather is far less harsh.
Despite no children listed for this rose, it is at least reluctantly fertile. It was in bloom at the nursery when I bought it, that single bloom set a hip and there has been germination....but it set no other hips in it's first season here, most HT's don't like setting hips for me though.
-edit- I spoke too soon, may just be the heat that was preventing hips, as have had no issue with hip set once the temps dropped a bit.

How has the disease resistance been in Sydney? I note one retailer rates it only 2/5 for health, but I'm hoping that it is better so that I can put it in my no-spray garden!

I don't spray, it survives, there are far worse out there.
Realistically it's unlikely for rose that's ancestry is just older Hybrid Tea's for generations is going to have great disease resistance.
