Is that a ...Hybrid Tea Rose?
Hybrid Tea roses became popular with the cultivation of 'Soleil d'Or' by Pernet-Ducher in Lyons, France. This was at the very beginning of the 20th century: 1900. The 'Peace' rose (aka 'Madame A. Meilland'), was introduced by Francis Meilland at the end of World War II and is arguably the cultivar that made Hybrid Teas a most popular selection for the 20th century. Take a delve of other popular Hybrid Tea cultivars below.
The first Hybrid Tea rose world-over is arguably cited as 'La France' from 1867, when French nurseryman Jean-Baptiste André Guillot hybridized a tea rose, most supposedly 'Madame Bravy', with a Hybrid Perpetual, most supposedly 'Madame Victor Verdier.' Hence, 'La France' was the very first of the Hybrid Tea term. 'Lady Mary Fitzwilliam' (of Henry Bennett in 1883), 'Souvenir of Wootton' (of John Cook in 1888) and 'Madame Caroline Testout' (of Pernet-Ducher in 1890) are fellow cultivars soon to follow in that time period. Notice each featured in the left and top right sidebars. Scroll over and they'll give a nice curtsy or twirl.
The appeals of combining tea rose qualities with perpetuals is no new fascination. Hybrid Perpetuals remained hardier, with Hybrid Tea roses often hardy to -25 degrees celsius. However, little information is available as to the hardiness of Hybrid Perpetuals in gardening vocation. Hybrid Perpetuals themselves were results of the desire to advance bloom remontancy, the term for repeating (incidence of) flowering in a season versus a single seasonal bloom of wild roses. Tea roses were named for their fragrance reminiscent of tea traditions, more potent given 'ever-blooming' status. Hybrid roses gain some of this pleasantry and greater repeat-flowering, but with stronger necks plus their typified long straight stems to uphold a fuller flora and make for extra nice cuttings. Thanks to Wikipedia's Hybrid Tea Rose page for some of this featured information, available there.

Many Hybrid Tea selections are taken up in small gardens today, and they can be available at garden centers cluttered among numerous landscape Floribunda and more shrub options, which are sold for maintenance features like specific disease-resistance, particular growth profiles and/or bloom habits, convenience of self-cleaning, etc.
Marketed titles of 'Knock-out', 'Drift', 'Carpet', 'At Last' are all further hybridized varieties, among many more. Multi-flowering generationals considered along Hybrid Perennials include Chinas, Bourbons, and Damasks, more of which is detailed at bottom of the right sidebar. The right sidebar also features a link to Floribunda distinctions and spinoffs.

You may already know several of these from highly retailed cut flowers. Roses are a favorite flower for many Americans, and the Saint Valentine's Day celebration of love and affection brings added attention to the category each year, particularly its Reds. Hybrid Teas have thrived as cuttings, and this has not lessened their popularity for home-grown options. In addition to Meilland's 'Peace', detailed above (and especially pegged for cool summer climates) 'Mr. Lincoln' and 'Veteran's Honor' are each lushly saturated Reds with standout fragrance. More All-American Rose Selections described by The Spruce's listicle include Yellows 'Midas Touch' and 'Celebrity', Oranges 'Tropical' and 'Voodoo', the lavender 'Purple Passion', and hot summer creamy favorite, 'Garden Party.'
