Rose identification please

I have found one rose in my new garden, stuffed under a large pittosporum, mostly in shade.  It seems healthy, just two stems, 80cm  or so tall, no sign of black spot.  I’ll probably move it come autumn/winter to a better position. 

Can anyone id it please? The bloom is about 6-7cm across and specimen is not drooping, the buds point downward on the plant.  It has very little scent.

    I think there are a few like this. But my Birthday Girl is very similar, and very healthy, but possibly with not quite such neatly defined red outlines on every single petal.  @Marlorena mentioned one recently on the rose thread that was not Birthday Girl but might be this one?

    Thank you.  I did find some more “possibles” on the rose thread: “Nostalgia” or “Handel” but mine doesn’t seem to have a climbing  habit or be strongly scented like “Handel” and it’s not a hybrid tea so can’t be “Nostalgia”. I might stick with “birthday Girl” for now!
