Fragrant Red Rose

I transplanted this fragrant red rose in 2004 to make way for some arbor vitae (privacy) bushes along side a fence in my back yard. I planted it on the east side of my garage, not knowing where else to plant it. It had no ID tags on any of the stems, and I had no way to inquire with the former homeowners about it. I cut it back every spring to about 2 ft. tall, and this year it grew to almost 6 ft. The strong thick blooms grow to about 5 to 6 in. wide, with deep red color. The fragrance is always strong, and very pleasing to the nose. If they made it into women's perfume, I'd definitely buy it as a gift for that special lady. Recently, I brought a small bouquet of these flowers to a my brother's home to a family reunion. Several of my family members were quite interested in what type of rose it was. I would appreciate any help in this matter. Thank you!
