One can clearly see the influence of Thérèse Bugnet as a parent.

Yes , but it has a much more "tidy" and reserved growth for me , and the leaves they are shinny green , they stand out.

Yes, tidy is one of the features Thérèse Bugnet can't be accused of. It's growth/habit is a bit messy and most of the time leaning towards the direction, you don't want it to. And yes, it has a bit of a Rugosa appearance as for foliage.
Me my self, I like this stubborn/obstinate/wayward rose. And once in a while, if the conditions are right, it surprises/rewards you with a lovely scent.
On the other hand: if You love tidy, shiny and T.B.... This is the one!

I don't mind wayward either I grow a few monsters... for example Agnes ... now 3 meters high with the most crinkled foliage but its fragrances is something else...

Good to hear, You like wayward too!
Agnes doesn't thrive over here at the place she's located at.
Wanted her to frighten/keep out trespassers, but she stays tiny. I bought a budgrafted-one.
Maybe she needs to be on own root to become a (barb-wired) monster.
