I wonder if this could be the presumed-lost 'Franz Deegen', parent of 'Gruss an Aachen'.......

Could be, but would it be perhaps too on the peach side of yellow to be Franz Deegan?
I've been trying to compare the photos of it to 'Mlle Helene Cambier'.

I could never go past ‘St. Helena’ (hybrid tea, Cant, 1912).
See also “Mrs. Frances Pickles”.

I just obtained a band of this rose this year from a Friends of Vintage Roses sale and I must say I am already struck by its resemblance to some photos of 'Mlle Helene Cambier'. As indicated by the images posted by HubertG in its photos, 'Mlle Helene Cambier' was for sale in the 1910s by the California Rose Company, which was located in the San Francisco Bay Area at the time and thus not that far from St. Helena, in Napa County. I am looking forward to becoming more familiar with this rose in future years and continuing to make comparisons.

Can anyone confirm that the deep pink photo in the 2007 'Rosa Mundi', Vol 21, No. 2, page 17, is not that of "St. Helena Cemetery Very Double Hybrid tea". I am under the impression that the "St. Helena Cemetery Very Double Hybrid Tea" is a creamy pink, sometimes showing yellow in the centre.
