Great photo.
Not mossy, as with QSBM. Looks like AD to me.

Autumn Damask. Another name for Quatre Saisons.

Some roses have so many names I'll never be able to remember them.
What does really drive me mad though is when two different roses are out there in commerce carrying the same name. I think it was with you I had a discussion here about the many roses people want to call 'Edna Walling'. ARGH! I'll never be a rosarian, just a naive and very confused gardener with and interest in roses.
I wonder though why 'Autumn Damask', when as far as I've observed, it blooms mainly in spring. It's another puzzle like 'Autumnalis' which some references insist blooms in flushes throughout the year but in my experience only blooms once, late in the season. But as I often remark, 'The plants haven't read the references"!

Sorry about the acronym use. And the multiple 'nyms of roses frustrates me as well...

I find that in mild years, Autumn Damask (and many others hailed as "remontant") will rebloom well throughout the season. But most years, the heat/dry of Texas summer allows only marginally sporadic rebloom.

I can confirm the same experience here in my warm dry low desert climate.

I will put a reply in the Comments section, rather than under the photo.
