Trying to identify a 5 petal white rose with heart shaped petals, yellow stamens and pistils, and rounded leaflets (7). Lax habit like a rambler. Probably a very common species type but I just can't think of a name, and 24 pages are the result of a search. Suggestions?

Based on the leaf shape, I’ll venture ‘Rosa bracteata’.

Blossom looks correct for bracteata as well.

Bracteata repeats, and suckers viciously. Does that fit with your rose?
The buds are distinctive.
It's on my Never Again list.

We're on the same page Margaret.
It took me years to finally kill out rooted segments that kept regenerating.

It's on public property up a dirt road at Lake Barambah at Moffatdale in QLD. Went to visit this morning. confirmed by woolly hips/blossom remains. seems to be an original bush near the front of someone's property, and then 5 more bushes within 50 metres. All beasts at least 3 m x 3m. The birds are loving it in there. We have alot of blue wrens around, if they have shelter.

Rose listing omission: "Garden of St Erth", polyantha, found by Tommy Garnett on the land now owned by Diggers Club in Victoria, Australia. Petals white with a medium pink border, fading to white. Flowers in clusters. Leaves light green. Low-growing. I think it has been in commerce in Australia in the past.
I have photos to post.

Added, thanks Margaret. I cannot find a reference which confirms it was found by Tommy Garnett. It seems likely, but HelpMeFind works from references. Jennie O’Brien-Lutton first mentioned it to me in 2007 so that was the date I have used for the moment.
