I bought this house from a keen gardener. The garden is full of trees
and flowers. It took me 1.5 summers to id about 90 percent of them by
myself in the library but this pretty rose is really bugging me.

The flower is about 1.5 to 2 inches wide, 5 shiny small leaves, no
smell, next to an apple tree and a six foot fence as shown on the
picture. It is free flowering i think.

Try one of the musk roses, Buff Beauty or Cornelia. Flowers tend to
change colour as they mature.
Just a suggestion, quite possibly wildly wrong. But I was going from
abundance of flower and general growth habit.
