If I was told this was a 19th century French Tea Rose I wouldn't doubt it, that is, just going by the photos here.

The volatile components are closest to Comtesse de Labarthe and Gloire de Dijon.

That's interesting. A lot of the other Chinese roses in that fragrance analysis contain geraniol, nerol and citronellol, which this rose lacks. I do think that at least some of the rediscovered Chinese roses are likely to be old European cultivars which simply lost their name and identity over time.
