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.

Whilst researching my family tree I have found this site with reference to my Grandfather RM Finch. We knew he was a nurseryman in Concord but looking at the information on this site I didn't realize just how influential he was.
Can I have permission to take a copy of the clippings and any photos of him from this site.
I didn't know about the rose dedicated to my grandmother. Mrs RM Finch and am wondering if you would know if this would be available from any nursery to purchase now.
Thanks in advance for any information you may be able to give me.
Kind Regards
Helen
Helen Badrick (nee Finch)

THe photo and clipping was posted by membe Jane Z from Australia. As it is from a newspaper article and in public domain, there should be no problem in downloading this.
Regarding the rose 'Mrs. R. M. Finch', you can find the nurseries supplying this under the nursery tab. Unfortunately it does not seem to be in commerce an ymore. However, you can find a number of garden listings in Australia. Suggest you contact these.
The photos of 'Mrs. R. M. Finch' are posted by our members. If you want copies, you need to send them PMs individually to ask for permission to use, in case you plan to publish them somewhere.

Roses sold in Australia as Australia Felix are generally mislabelled plants of Mrs R M Finch. A nursery in Vic lists it (see the Buy From tab on the page for Australia Felix).
If you are in WA or Tas there may be quarantine issues with ordering it from interstate, but you could contact Heritage Roses in Australia in your state and ask if a member can give you cuttings.

If you are not already aware Helen, you can do an online search of old Australian newspapers on Trove:
trove.nla.gov.au. With the date and paper listed on the photo you may be able to get a better-quality picture. Certainly, the text can be produced as plain text

It's hard to think that all the photos on this file are of the same rose. Even if photographed with a phone...

Anything within the mauve - pink range with a white centre is probably accurate. Bloom age, climate and soil would impact. The range of colour was noted on the climbing sport.

Some nurseries -- in the US, at least -- sell what's actually 'Raymond Privat' under the name 'Baby Faurax'.

Thank you.
No way of judging the size from the photos, in most cases.

There's more than the size difference. I grew both. 'Baby Faurax' was rather stiff and stumpy and upright. 'Raymond Privat' was more arching and "graceful", if you could imagine that on a small rose.
