    I can almost smell it from here =] I was going to have a stab in the dark at Rosa 'Albéric Barbier' but I don't think it is that, not "peachy" enough and the petals on your's seem more pointy and the flowers don't seem as tight towards the centre, but you never know xD

    Hi Aesculus and daithplant.
    I forgot to tell that it looked like a shrub, it was taken at a Botanical Garden in Lisbon with no indication on the name.
    Indeed there are similarities with Albéric Barbier but like Aesculus said it cannot be beacuse its a climber and there are some differences too...
    -About Blanche Moreau i think the form of the petals are different...
    -Blanc Double De Coubert is also very similar, but im in doubt???
    Meanwihle, i was sherching for information too and i found one more possibility:

    Thank you very much for the answers Aesculus and Daithplant.
    I forgot to tell that it was a shrub, like aesculus said regarding the similarities i also think that its not Albéric Barbier also because it is a climber
    Blanc Double De Coubert and Blanche Moreau they also very likely especially the first one but im still in doubt i´v been sherching too and i found this specie:

    I don't think so daithplant as the stems seem to be hairless/spikeless and also the leaves seem a much darker green then i'd expect and also there's a couple of water marks on one of the leaves which you wouldn't get on bristly leaf

    Hi Francis What would help is to know the number of Petals etc. and in many species you can indeed get the same rose as a climber/shrub:)

    Thank you for the answers, somehow some of my replies are disappearing...
    Im going to count the petals next time.
    By the way, what do you think about this one:

    -Rose, Lady Banks' Albo Plena / Rosa banksiae Albo Plena
