Unusual rose - 2nd attempt to post photos

Hi, we recently moved house and inherited a rose, which has just flowered, and the petals are ‘scalloped’! I’ve never seen anything like this before. I’m attaching a couple of photos (hopefully!) - can anyone identify it?

    Can’t help you with a name but isn’t it pretty.

    @Marlorena is the usual rose expert on here.  Maybe she knows.

    I have never seen anything like that before. 

    If the wisdom of this forum (@Marlorena) does not come up with a name it might be worth approaching a rose breeder to see if you have something unique and worthy of commercial propagation.

    ...quite cute isn't it? but it's not something I haven't seen before, sorry.. especially during August when blooms can be less typical, the outer guard petals are malformed, and some inner petals too...  it may be a characteristic of this rose but I have one doing similar, if not quite as sharply detailed...  come next Spring flush, the rose should produce more atypical blooms than you are seeing now and may look quite different..  

    ... for i.d. you would need to show the rose with more blooms open on a larger plant... not enough to go on there.. I'm sorry.. especially without knowing from where it was obtained..

    Well. I'm disappointed and it's not even my rose!

    Thanks to everyone for their interest. Yes, a bit disappointing, but thank you @Marlorenafor that information. As I said we inherited it, but it had been sadly neglected and damaged - maybe that is why it’s malformed! I’ll wait and see what happens next year then.

    Ah i have just seen roses like this!! Harkness roses have them listed in the new section.
    Edit: called ruffles roses, looks like one of these. I want it! :smiley:https://www.interplantroses.nl/assortment-roses/garden-roses/ruffle-roses

    Not roses I know at all, but there is an Indian Ruffles that looks similar.. maybe it's that, but the foliage does not look the same... it's important to compare the foliage..
