Hello Patricia,
It looks more likely Rose de l’Ile de France – Bengale Dubreuil – Rose de Bourbon a Fleurs Pleines - Bengale Neuman than Rose Edward. In fact, according to Prevost (Catalogue descriptif ... 1829) these two varieties differ also in the shape of the calyx.
Rose de l’Ile de France: Ovaire obconoïde, presque claviforme, glabre et évasé au sommet.
Rosa Edward: Ovaïre ovoïde-oblong, glabre et glauque au sommet.

Thanks Ca Berta. I only have a tiny French-English Dictionary.
Does the description for ‘Rose de l’Ille de France’ read something like:
Ovary like an inverted cone, almost club shaped, smooth and flared at the top?

And does the description for ‘Rose Edward’ read something like:
Ovary oval to oblong, smooth with a dull blue green bloom at the top.

I preferred to report the original phrases as I need a dictionary both for french and english and my translation might have been doubly incorrect. Your translations sounds right to me although I would translate “glabre et glauque au sommet” .. grey-green and smooth at the top.
The receptacle of your rose looks to me very “Where’s my club, Wilma?” , don't you think so?
Have a rosy day, Bruna

Pat, are there bristles on the lower half of the receptacle and on the sepals?
