It's hard to tell color from your photos.. Is it more orange than pink?  It rather reminds me of Tropicana.

i looked up tropicana and it does look very close.  The petal count is correct, the ones i counted today are 20-25 petals however it does not have a strong fruity scent, it is more like a mild tea scent. i will check some others for now, any more help will be appriciated thanks.

Orange Passion might be something to look at as well. It's listed as having 30 petals and mild fragrance.

Hi Brandisue,  By looking at the pictures you,ve posted, I,d guess it might be rose called 'Fragrant Cloud'. It,s a hybrid tea rose, that came out in 1967, by Tantau. Very nice form, vigorous, and highly scented. The color is a divine sort of deep coral pink, bordering on being orange.The reason I,m suggesting this rose, is because i grow two of them here, and your pictures look almost identical to pictures I,ve taken of my own roses. 'Tropicana ' is also a possiblity, although, I,ve seen 'Tropicana' growing in a couple of different botanical gardens,and neither plantings i saw had such a lush profusion of petals. ( I felt it was a more delicate-looking rose..with only a slight scent..) There aren,t that many roses out there, with that sort of coloring and form, so, it might be less challenging to identify it.. Good Luck- :D.. Lenage.

Damask, is a scent of one of the older rose types out of the Persian gulf region. It is a rose that dates back as far as possibly 1000 yrs ago.  'Mm. Hardy', is an example of a wht. Damask rose, hyridized in the early-mid 19th century. I have smelt the damask roses at the Royal Botanical Gardens in Burlington, Ont, and they are amazingly strong and sweet.  Damask roses are often used in countries like Turkey, to produce attar of roses, a rich rose oil, which costs a fortune to buy any of, because it,s so difficult  to make.  If you look up damask roses, you,ll get an idea of how they look, and if you ever get to smell one, you might be able to better compare your orange/pink rose you,ve posted.    :D.. Lenage.
