This is an abundant, healthy and almost thornless rose. There are no thorns for most of the length of the stem.

Rose Listing Omission
Subzero
From Wagner's website (Australia): "A true thoroughbred. Bright white and superb, the large, cupped flowers are produced continuously. Subzero™ stands out against its dazzling thick deep green glossy foliage and is incredibly hardy and healthy. Each bloom is filled with the most intoxicating scent of peaches, pears and exotic fruits. Fragrance: Strong. Height 1.5m"

Early first season experience (Sydney Australia).
This is a stunning bicolour rose with mauve-pink outer and lighter inner petals. The fragrance is a moderately strong lovely rose scent. Petal count has been 40-42 petals this spring on a moderately large bloom of 10cm diameter. As a cut flower it is excellent, lasting 5d without any fussing. The plant is healthy and has good vigour with absolutely no black spot despite constant drizzle for a week and rains (ie high humidity). It has also tolerated high heat with reflected heat off nearby surfaces being in the extreme range on hot days. So far this is a wonderful rose.

I think this is the same as “Dolly’s Rose”. Labelling on rose says “Dolly’s Rose. Supporting Dolly’s Dream”.

Melville Rose n Garden sells 'Dolly's Dream'. Could be identical to 'Dolly's Rose', but cannot check: Knights Roses has blocked their website to European users.

I have looked at the Melville and Knights pages and they are the same rose. The information on Melvilles’ is the same as Knights’ page.

Knight’s: ‘Dolly’s Rose is a stunning fragrant shrub rose which features large cup-shaped flowers produced in small clusters of 3-5 blooms on strong stems. It is an attractive deep purple colour in warm weather changing to a more intense burgundy on cooler days.
Dolly’s Rose is a fundraising collaboration between Knights Roses and Dolly’s Dream. In remembrance of Amy “Dolly” Everett, a royalty is paid from every sale to Dolly’s Dream which will support programs that focus on educating and creating behaviour changes in schools and the community to reduce bullying and cyberbullying of young people.
Dolly’s Rose is a stunning fragrant shrub rose which features large cup-shaped flowers produced in small clusters of 3-5 blooms on strong stems. It is an attractive deep purple colour in warm weather changing to a more intense burgundy on cooler days. Typical of a nostalgic rose, Dolly’s Rose has a lovely strong fragrance showing an oriental character and repeat flowers extremely well. This is a very healthy, bushy rose with a well-branched habit and abundant semi-glossy foliage with good disease resistance. Also suitable as a cut flower.
On January 3rd 2018, Tick and Kate Everett’s youngest daughter took her own life. It was the day they lost their 14-year-old, vibrant gypsy soul to bullying. As a child, Dolly was a dreamer, a painter, a storyteller, a singer. A wild-haired, bright-eyed baby girl. She believed in being kind to all, she always saw the good and championed the underdog.
Tick suggested we fulfil Dolly’s dream; one where the world is a better place. One where there is a little more kindness and a little more positivity. Dolly’s Dream became a reality and the aims were simple. To educate, to inspire and to just be there. Dolly’s story and the family hopes for Dolly’s Dream quickly became bigger than ever imagined, so the family chose to partner with the Alannah & Madeline Foundation to help take Dolly’s Dream to Australia.
Dolly’s story has only just begun. Dolly’s Dream are writing the next chapter and by purchasing Dolly’s Rose – you can be a part of it.

Alannah and Madeline, little sisters, were killed with their mother in 1996, in Australia's worst mass shooting of modern times, at Port Arthur. It precipitated major changes to Australia's gun laws.
