Correct release to commerce year would be 1859: Standish is advertising it in the April 30, 1859, issue of Gardeners’ Chronicle (p. 378), as among the “New Roses for 1859 […]. All of the above plants are now ready to send out,” and repeats the ad in subsequent issues of the 1859 Gardeners' Chronicle.

Please can anyone tell me if this rose sets hips, and if so, what the resulting seedlings are like?

Hmf lists these as descendants:
Madame Gustave Fargeton
Starlight (hybrid multiflora, Paul, 1909)
The Sweet Little Queen of Holland

Thanks Margaret. Shame none of them seem to be in commerce, as I would like to have seen the results of Celine Forestier's motherhood, so to speak.

"what the resulting seedlings are like?"

This depends on what you use it with.

Does anyone have any experience of how shade tollerant this rose is?
Thanks in advance,
Steve

I was looking on Vintage Gardens about this rose it doesn't say anything about it being a climber? I guess it could be a climber if allowed to.. Right? If I get one I don't want it to climb...

Doesn't have to climb. Mine has been free standing for over 10 years. You will have to shorten up some of the longer canes to grow it as a Shrub.

I am also hoping to grow this rose. There are some beautiful pictures that people have put on here.
