I don't know why I haven't said hello before but I will now, Hello. As for the rose, it is a beauty. I grow mainly antique roses. I had eighty varieties at my last home. I was only able to move ten here to my new place. It was a sad, sad time. Anyhow I don't recognize the color of your rose. But with the scent it's definitely an antique rose. The shape of the bud and the thorns will be the clues to finding it's name. My favorite source for info on antique roses is, http://www.antiqueroseemporium.com/ By the way, the old roses make the best rose beads. I have petals from my roses on the stove now waiting for me to find the time to form the beads. I visit often but this is the first time I’ve left a comment.

I love the old roses. With their cabbage petal forms and sweet strong smell. The color is just beautiful. Maybe try to propagate a few cuttings so you have more of her for the future- or to share...hint hint...LOL. Oh how I envy you. I love the old roses.

I don't know about types, although a friend of mine has some rose books and I'll have a look next time I visit her house? Roses are just about my favourite thing ever ... I like them big and blousy and heavily scented - the more old fashioned the better, especially the tea rose. and I like them just slightly overblown. oh, a gorgeous rose .. those round buds are beautiful.

The only one I've seen live and up close is a pale pink one, but the thorn placement was the same, the leaves are the same, and the flower shape was pretty close. The smell is divine, to be sure. I hope someone with a bit more experience comes along and gives you a bit more information. *back to lurking* I think you’ve got a Grootendorst variety, but I’m not sure which one.
