..more information is required please... height and width of plant,.. photos of wide open blooms, thorns and any further info you can tell us,.. repeat flowering.. scent.. etc... thanks..
Height is around two metres - width - within a metre. It seems to have two or three main long stems, which branch out at the top, where the blooms are.
Thorns are short, and light greenish on the main stem - and are red tinged on the newer growth, where it branches out.
Some photos

: Thorns (sorry for poor photo)
They were here when I moved in, and haven't touched them, so not sure about repeat flowering?
Roses are almost impossible to identify as there are thousands of varieties. In our last garden, I had 80 but could really only identify about four or five. And that was after decades of cultivating them. I guess there's no plant label? Could you ask the previous owner? Even the neighbours might know.
@sabeeha ..thanks for the photos... I would say that's a Bourbon rose, and whilst the first photo of the single bloom isn't typical of the one I think, I'm going by your last picture of the whole plant, whereby I can see the quartered full blooms and the loose upright habit.. … 'Louise Odier' is my idea of that one, but I'm not 100 percent on it from those photos.. perhaps some more close ups of the blooms in a couple of weeks time when there are more out, and an idea of what you make of the scent, would help further..
Yes, I understand. Even if I get a general idea it would be good, as I don't know where to start with roses (care, pruning particularly) and it looks like they will just get taller and taller.
Marlorena - Thank you very much I will def get you more info! much appreciated
Not an expert but most roses have fairly non specific requirements and if the rose is established, healthy and flowering well you just need to care for it as you would any rose. Marlorena is the person you need to advise you but I would say feed water prune as appropriate and enjoy your beautiful rose and don’t worry too much about it’s name.

GJ has a strong and beautiful scent.
Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.
I looked Gertrude Pink up, I think the one I have is a much more deeper pink? (doesn't show clearly in my photo)

Marlorena - Thank you very much
I just smelled them, they smell amazing - I am sorry to be so basic, but they really smell like roses? Like a concentrated rose smell? Very fragrant
