Please ID this rose: very mature, potentially from the 60s, not new varieties

Hi everybody, Happy New Year.
 I was hoping somebody would be able to identify this rose that came with the bungalow we bought three years ago.
It looks very mature to me, so potentially was planted when the house was built - mid 60s.
The scent is very pleasant and fruity, probably can be described as tea rose scent. Flowers beginning of summer but then again a few short bursts.

    Not that I would be any good with ID, BBS, but your photos aren’t showing up for me...

    iceberg, royal highness and something like rambling rector, or Bobby George.

    Sorry, meant to ask about three different roses, but just realised I only have decent amount of pictures of one of them. It is however my favourite one and would be most important to identify and to be able to replace if needed.

    Iceberg seems likely for the first, l agree  :)

    I also think it looks like Iceberg. 

    Wonder what @Marlorena thinks 🤔

    This is the second, the orange one. Grows tall, over 7ft, as a tall shrub.

    This is the third, the yellow one. Also a tall shrub, doesn’t seem to be too eager to climb, just grows as tall as ca. 7ft. The same pleasant fruity scent like the other two.

    Is the orangey one highly scented? I have a similar rose called sheila's perfume.
