It is rather unusual in its colouration but why not!
I garden in Cyprus, in a flat old farming field, alt. approx. 30 m asl.

A more traditionally coloured rose today, 'Glamour' I found a better picture here http://www.poulsenroser.com/assortment/rose-collections/paramount/glamour.aspx which probably gives a better idea of what it looks like earlier in the season.

I have a small garden in Rome, Italy. Some open soil, some concrete, some paved. Temperatures in winter occasionally down to 0°C. Summer temperatures up to 40°C in the shade. There are never watering restrictions but, of course, there is little natural water for much of June, July and August.

David your photo dipcts 'promise of things  to come' compared to the photo in the website.  I have noticed that the leaves have the problems that ours exhibit in the summer.

From 'Glamour' to 'Gorgeous'. Only problem is that 'Gorgeous' was a bit past her best when I took her photo. Here is a link to a better one. https://www.bakker.com/en-gb/p/large-tea-rose-paramount-gorgeous-M57599

'Hans Gonewein' was the dedicatee of this rose as you can read here. http://www.helpmefind.com/rose/l.php?l=2.61367.0

Hans Gonewein - that looks a lovely one, David; and much better foliage than some; thanks again for all these!

Looking up "Ice Cap", which is today's rose, I saw on Dave's Garden that - "Ice Cap" is a trademark. The cultivar name is 'MEIradena'. "https://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/go/222734/

Today's rose is a bit late but better late than never, as they say. 'Jardins de France'

I hadn't realised how badly focussed  the photo was. I haven't got a better one but I think it gives the idea. Here is a link to a better photo https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/85/Rose_Jardins_de_France_20070601.jpg

That's a stunner!
I am establishing a garden on Waiheke Island, 35 minutes out of Auckland. The site is windy, the clay soil dries out quickly in summer and is like plasticine in winter, but it is still very rewarding. Water is an issue, as we depend on tanks. I'm looking forward to sharing ideas. Caroline
