Its a dead ringer for Salet.

Called a moss rose. I get
an extra flush in fall but it is iffy.

In my garden there is a rose which has a delightful scent and a wonderful
display in May.



It looks like an old fashioned rose but I am not sure of what is its name,
since it has been in the garden before I bought the house thirty years
ago.



It's about 8 feet high and has arched branch with a lot of thin thorns.

Leaves are typical rose leaves, in group of five.

The rose blooms only once a year and flowers are very scented (classic
rose
scent).
When touched, leaves and sepals releases a resin aroma.

Would you help me give this rose a name ?

Thanks
