Can anyone help me find out the name and type of this rose?

I bought this rose as part of a pack of bare rooted ones. It has grown quite high and it’s really pretty but I can’t work out the name of it. I am going to try and attach a photo or maybe more to see if this will help someone tell me the name of it.  Your help would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    @Marlorena might know.
    Is it scented? Do you know what type it is - shrub? Climber?

    It is slightly scented and although it only arrived early this year it has grown quite high - probably nearly 3 ft. It is 11.20 pm now so can’t go out and measure it! I have no idea what sort as it was part of a deal of 5 bare root roses but only 2 survived though the colours are lovely. Before I took the photo the centre seemed much more tightly frilled before it opened up.

    @imbrennan, there are some pics of roses on the other roses thread going on at the moment, one rose is called Old Wollerton Hall, it looks similar??? Hard to see unless side by side. Lovely all the same.

    The thread is called the new rose season 2020, look at @Tack pictures.

    Was that last post really necessary?

    Our apologies @imbrennan

    The forum is currently being pestered by someone with childish attention-seeking behaviour. I’m sure the Mods will deal with it, but in the meantime I’ve clicked on the Flag at the foot of the offending post and chosen ‘spam’ fron the drop down menu.  If 5 people do that it will disappear and go the the Mods’ In-tray.

    @D0rdogne_Damsel I'm fairly sure it's not Wollerton Old Hall. It's a lovely rose though @imbrennan.

    I thought maybe The Lady Gardener but have changed my mind, the petal edges are the wrong shape and the way the outer petals have stronger colour than the middle ones on the OP's older bloom is the wrong way round.

    @imbrennan - just popped in to say I have Old Wollerton Hall rose.

    The buds etc on your plant are similar but the full bloom isn't the same somehow. The blooms on mine are more cupped and have a slightly looser structure. The buds have that distinct pink tinge to them and the newly opened blooms are pale apricot but they very quickly fade to yellow, to cream to nearly white. OWH also has a very strong, rich myrrh type scent.

    Can't suggest an alternative - sorry

    ...it's easy to guess but virtually impossible to be accurate about the i.d. of a rose, without much more detail than shown... as an example.. the top photo may be a typical bloom, but the middle picture probably isn't.. the foliage also needs to be seen in detail... and on an established garden plant, preferably taken at the height of the rose season in June...

    ...without that information, what you would need to supply is the name of the vendor and / or type of rose bundle you got from them, so we can check their inventory... 
    ...sorry I can't be of more help at this stage..

    I got them from YouGarden website so I’ve written to them to ask if they have any idea what they were. I did notice that they were being sold as bush roses. Hopefully I might get a reply from them soon.
