Is "Little Red Run Around" the same as "Mary Lawrance's Shell Rose"?

There is a possibility of this. Fred Boutin mentioned ML's Shell Rose when discussing possible origins of Red Runaround. He also mentioned Thomas Rivers' Ayrshire hybrids, because RR has those very long, very thin canes that you see in Ayrshires. He also says there is Old Blush in Ayrshire roses, giving us the idea some are Hybrid Chinas.
