Smelly, Pink Once-Bloomer

Hi guys,

Thanks for looking at my post. I brought some tomato plants to my neighbors' the other day and noticed this gorgeous old rose bush flowering in the corner of their yard. They insisted I take a few cuttings. I tried to get pics of the thorns, foliage and blossoms. I'm thinking it's a gallica, right?....or an alba? The fragrance is very strong, old rose scent. I don't know for sure, but I'm guessing it's a once bloomer by the looks of it. The bush was about 5 feet high and tied up so can't really describe the growth habit; the flowers are about 3 inches in diameter. The foliage was very healthy, no signs of disease.

Thank you for any suggestions!
