I am wondering if anyone recognizes this beautiful, lightly fragranced rose grown from a cutting taken from a 1920's house in Melbourne, Australia? It has smooth pedicels, dull, narrow leaves and has few thorns.

If you re-open your post you'll find it has grown an Add Photos button.
Does the plant repeat-flower? Does it set hips? Does it sucker when grown from a cutting? Is it a bush or a climber?

Apologies for the late uploading of photos. The plant in question is a bush and does not sucker. It has round hips and does repeat flower.

For some reason it made me think of Dickson's 'Dean Hole' of 1904, but I don't know how likely it would be for that to have survived.
Rebedina, when you say a cutting taken from a 1920s house, do you have good reason to think it might be of the same era of the house? It could be something from much later.

It certainly could be a much later rose, you're right.

I am trying to identify this rose, found growing near Canberra, Australia. My closest guess is Polyantha Grandiflora. Can anyone verify? (photos to follow...)

That is a very good guess Felicite. Most characteristics match what I grow as 'Polyantha Grandiflora' (which came to me incorrectly as 'Wedding Day') Consider reassigning your photos to 'Polyantha Grandiflora' - you clearly show identifying features.

I'm trying to identify what rose this could possibly be (looks similar to my first one, but not the same).
This rose is in my neighbor's garden (she has since passed away and new owners at the property). I know she was a great gardener, but her plot has since gone downhill these past 15 years with neglect. This rose keeps peeking out of a mass of weeds and I'd like to save it just in case it's an older or rare rose, not to mention beautiful.
I believe this only blooms once (but also never saw it deadheaded). It has very large, long, thorny canes (but not sure if it's because it's trying to grow tall and bust through the weeds). It's more in the 6' range in height, but could be longer than I realize. Flowers are 2.5 to 3 inches in diameter, with a sweet and spicy fragrance, color is pink from afar with a blue/violet undertone.
Thoughts??

I have seen a similar faint stripe on my possible ‘Queen of the Bourbons’. Your photos were excellent by the way, giving us good details to attempt an identification.

I have two roses I'm trying to identify and was hoping this group could help. (Will put roses in two different threads for ease of responding).
I live in Chicago, and was taking a walk in Jackson Park in a wooded landscape space outside the Japanese garden (Garden of the Phoenix). And I was surprised to come across a rose in a woodland setting there and I'm very curious what it could be.
It was receiving sun at the time, but definitely was also in a shaded area and seemed to be thriving. (Part-sun) Very minimal thorns, found long canes but appeared to be a bushy habit, 4-5' tall, matte green leaves, a delicate spicy, sweet fragrance to the flower.

Could it be ‘Therese Bugnet’ 1941?

I think that could be it. The only difference I could see from online images of 'Therese Bugnet' is the size of the bloom, but it's probably nominal. Thanks!!
