Possibly not Stern's 'Wedding Day' Alf. Your petals are heart-shaped and Stern's 'Wedding Day' petals have a small mucronate tip to them. See the two photos from Jedmar and from Margaret Furness which clearly show the mucronate tip.
You have two good clues. Your petals are heart-shaped, and your hips are oval.
Although Polyantha grandiflora petals are heart-shaped, I don't think your rose is this one, as your hips are too long.
I would suggest you have a look at the R. gentiliana file. Those petals are heart-shaped and I think the hips are oval, although I have no photos.
These white ramblers are most difficult but your very clear photos certainly help.

I have noticed this, Patricia, but all 'Wedding Day' specimens I have seen in Norway have petals like this. I have guessed the variation is because of the cold climate, but I do not know. It may be R. gentiliana, but no rose is available under that label in Norway.
My 'Wedding Day' is probably bred in Denmark, and is hardy. Survived -20 degrees Celsius this winter all the way to it´s top (5 meters).
Thank you. I will investigate further.
