does anyone know this rose?

Hi all,
When we moved into our house in Adelaide three years ago, there was next to nothing in the garden apart from a few roses. Does anyone recognise the rose in the picture? its very robust, grows to around one and a half metres tall and sends up very tall shoots as if it wants to climb. The blooms are a bit paler than in the picture and it has a lovely old world perfume. As the house is a hundred years old, it could be an old rose. Very disease resistant and has obviously thrived on neglect for a long time as the previous owners were certainly not gardeners.
Any suggestions on what it could be would be appreciated.

Here is a link that might be useful: yellow rose

Sorry to disappoint, but it's a very young rose. One of David Austin's, possibly The Pilgrim, Graham Thomas, and very likely Mollineux.

Thank you Lozza. No, its OK, it doesn't matter if its young or old. Its not Graham Thomas as I have that rose growing in the area and its yellow is quite different. it certainly does look like an Austin rose - I'll have to do some research on Mollineaux and the Pilgrim. Thank you so much for your response.

It even looks a bit like a Charles Austin or Yellow Charles Austin at certain stages of opening.
