Found Rose with Tiny Flowers

When I moved into my house ten years ago, there was a rose growing up against the house. It never bloomed and I ignored it for years. Even cut it to the ground once and then piled a bunch of concrete blocks on top of it and left them there for a year.

A couple of years ago I moved the blocks away and it grew like gangbusters. Finally this year it started to bloom. It has clusters tiny little white flowers with five petals, yellow centers and no fragrance that I've noticed. Although maybe there will be more of a scent when more of it is in bloom.

I'm uncertain whether to keep it. It's amazingly vigorous despite total neglect and even abuse. I've never seen even a touch of black spot, mildew or any disease. But, the flowers are not what I was hoping for. They're pretty in a subtle way, but I was really hoping for fragrance as it's right under the bedroom window.

Does anyone know what this rose is? Thanks!
