The pictures of Mme Arthur Oger shows a very different rose from the pictures shown here.
The so called aurelia liffa has less petals and different leaves.
The so called mme Arthur oger seems a quite common
Bourbon with many ( too many ) look alike ,why this somewhat arbitrary note ?

Erich Unmuth is considered knowledgable on Geschwind roses and has questioned the identity of several Geschwind roses in commerce (see his publications). But I agree that 'Aurelia Liffa' in commerce cannot be 'Mme Arthur Oger'. The former is a once-bloomer.

In the yearbook of roses 2011 ("Rosenjahrbuch 2011") on page 72 in the article": Rudolph Geschwind-,,... bis zur Ueberreizung gelangte Sucht, der Blumenkönigin zu huldigen..."
is stated in the footnote/annotation, that Aurelija Liffa is extinct, just like Erlkönig, Fatinitza, Geschwinds Orden, Kleiner Postillon, Lios Alfa, Madame Richter, Mercedes, Nymphe Tepla and Schloss Luegg.
The article is written by Mag. Andrea Buchmann and co-author Erich Unmuth.
...But Aurelia Liffa and some other of the mentioned roses are still available according to HMF and plants-for-sale lists of nurseries.
Are those sold roses questionable? Or maybe the comments of these authors? Or even a third possibillity, that there can't be given any certainty.

Erich Unmuth is the most knowledgable rosarian on the subject of Geschwind roses, and this article reflects the current status of research. It is very possible that the roses mentioned are questionable. But there is no certainty, until we find out who commercialized these under that name and when.

Is this rose a once-, or continuous-bloomer, or does it flower in flushes throughout the season?
