Rose "Help for Heroes"

Hi,
Speaking with a neighbour recently who has recently moved, and she was lamenting the fact that she had had to leave a favourite rose "Help for Heroes" behind, and she has not able to source another one anywhere. I had a quick search for it online, and cannot find any recent references to it (it looks like it was sold for a short while about 10-15 years ago). Does anyone know if this rose is still available, or if it is another name for a rose that is? I think it was sold to raise money for charity at the time but other than that I know nothing about it other than a picture I found online:

It's possible someone on the forum has one and may be willing and able to take a cutting perhaps.
I will tag @Marlorena in this as l know she has many roses, maybe she knows of it.
It might have been a rose sold under another name elsewhere, e.g. there is a dark red hybrid tea called ‘Veteran’s Honor’ in America that is also sold under the names Lady in Red, City of Newcastle and various others...
