ooooohhh!!!! pretty! maybe some rose guru on here will know what its called
I can try to identify it, but I'll need some more information. Thus far, I know that it's pink, blooms once, and is very hardy. If you could give me some kind of dimensions and general shape of the whole plant, the size of the flower, describe the fragrance (if any), tell me if it has lots of thorns, few, or none, etc. then I can narrow things down further. Thus far I'm wondering if perhaps it's David Austin's first English rose, called "Constance Spry." Otherwise, it could be any one of a number of centifolias, hybrid bourbons, gallicas, etc. The number of rose varieties numbers into 5-figures, so it's not as easy as it might seem, but I'll give it a shot.

Ok I will try to answer the questions.
It is currently about 10 ft tall and a bush shape. (Probably a climber) It seems to spread by the roots, it does have thorns, but not like some roses that have a lot. The size of the flower is about 2.5 inches. It does have a very wonderful fragrance. Sweet rose scent but not harsh, subtle.
I was given 2 roses starts that belonged to my great aunt. One is a 5 petal white rose with huge red hips. The other was this pink one. I was told that one of them was brought out west with my great grandmother. I always assumed it was the white one. I hope this info helps.

If you have pictures of the whole plant, up-close shots of the leaves, and pictures of the flower when it's completely open, it would help a lot. Unfortunately, while what you describe thus far (and what I see in the pics) does eliminate a lot of possibilities, that shade of pink is about the most common color in roses. I'm thinking that it's among the hybrid bourbons, hybrid chinas, or possibly a gallica, but it's hard to say (and these are just classes of roses, each containing many different varieties). But we can continue to narrow it down.
If you want to know where I'm looking, I'm starting at www.vintagegardens.com and looking through the possible classes of rose to which it may belong. That nursery is good because it offers a general growth-shape with each of its varieties. Then, when I think I have a possibility, I go to www.helpmefind.com and search the name there for more pictures. Since you have the plant right there with you, you can do the same from your end.

I have a Zepherine Drouhin (sp?) that is a particular pink like that. It has a definite huge spring flush but I get more blooms thru the summer in California. If that is the rose it is an old rose and I have had years when I thought I should dig it up, then the next year it was a champ. go figure. This is the first year I have been aggressive with it, pruning back to small bush size and it is tolerating it quite well. Sends out long shoots. This rose likes liquid, diluted fish emulsion all over it and on its roots. and a lot of mulch.
I am just guessing by the pink and shape.

Yes, the flowers are similar, but Zepherine Drouhin is thornless and blooms more than just once, unlike the rose she has. There are probably hundreds of different roses it could be, but even that is narrowed down from the over 10,000 varieties possible.

They are VERY easy to grow, IMO, and practically care-free, I have 3 of them.

Iceberg is a very popular rose. Classed as a floribunda , it is actually the result of a cross between a hybrid tea and a hybrid musk . A lot of the popularity stems from characteristics it inherited from the hybrid musk side of its ancestry. If you like the look of lots of simply-shaped flowers, check out other hybrid musks. If you want something a bit smaller, look into polyanthas .
