My question is, Is it "standard" for the shower head to be held onto the
riser attachment by the tapered ferule on the end of the hose. I want to
minimise the risk of buying one that isn't quite suitable.

Yes it's standard practice. But there are at least 2 sizes, as I've found from replacing a number of them. Maybe take the old one with you.
