White, near white or white blend Damask.

Bred by Unknown English Breeder(s) (United Kingdom, before 1818).
Introduced in Australia by Northampton Nurseries in 1861 as 'Léda'.

Damask.  

White, red edges.  Strong fragrance.  Medium, double (17-25 petals), button-eye, flat, old-fashioned, reflexed bloom form.  Occasional repeat later in the season.  

Medium, compact, well-branched.  Dark green foliage.  

Height: 3' to 6' (90 to 185cm).  Width: up to 3' (up to 90cm).

USDA zone 4b through 9b.  Can be used for cut flower, garden or landscape.  Hardy.  Disease susceptibility: disease resistant.  Prune after flowering is finished.  This rose blooms on old wood.  

Lloyd Brace of The Roseraie at Bayfields says this rose will occasionally repeat in the fall...
Nickels writes in 1837 that 'Léda' is a synonym of 'Blanc bordée de rouge' (Vitry 1826). However, the diameter of 1-2" which he states is smaller than current bloom size.
