Roxburgh's description does not agree with Lindley's R. brunonii or R. moschata. Both were described as simply serrate, whereas Roxburgh's plant had doubly-serrate leaves.
4. R. glandulifera. R.
Germs oblong, shrubby, subscandent, armed. All the tender parts ciliate, with glutinous, headed glands. Leaflets from five to seven, ovate, doubly-serrate. Segments of the calyx sub-ensiform, finely pinnatifid. Flowers terminal in large corymbiform panicles.
Beng. Swet, or Sheooti gulab.
Found in gardens throughout India, where it is commonly called the white rose; its flowers being double, fragrant and white, like the white rose (R. alba,) of Europe. Where this plant is indigenous is uncertain, probably China, as I know it has been brought from thence to the Botanic garden at Calcutta. It blossoms all the year round; but chiefly during the cold season.

All botanical works consider R. glandulifera Roxb. a synonym of R. moschata Herrm. despite the fact that Roxburgh writes about doubly serrate leaves and double blooms.

I guess the continuity of bloom in Musks goes back a long way.

Is it fertile? Does it set hips?

Some of these photos look like what I grew (and is in the Quest-Ritson Encyclopaedia) as Nastarana. Central petaloids becoming unsightly while the outer row of petals remains white.

The Garden Book of Sir Thomas Hanmer (1659) 1933
The DOWBLE MUSKE, extreame sweet, the leaves are long and shining greene. It growes high, and hates pruning at the topps, and loves a warme wall or hedge.
