What Rose is this?

Already in the garden when I moved in 15 yrs ago, I call this 'the scrambler'. It pushes its way through and over anything growing near it, mostly the Griselinia which is a perfect support. The leaves are small, and the very double flowers are about an inch wide, with not a vestige of scent.

Looks like a rambler called Dorothy Perkins to me - pretty old variety.

Thanks, Bamboo. Nice name for an unscented rose. That's probably why.
