'Schneelicht' has single flowers, according to the description. See other photos. This is most likely ,'Mme Georges Bruant', with which it is often confused. Its leaflets have a thin brownish-reddish line around the edges, which can also be seen in this picture. 'M.G.B.' has semi-double flowers.

The flowers seem fully doubled and have a dome shape when they open. Flowers have a strong lemon yellow color, somewhat similar to 'Persian Yellow' although this is a Hybrid Spinosissima. Scent is always a matter of taste, I find the scent of 'Aurora' sweet and pleasant. This is a found rose, but a selection has been made available commercially. The original breeder is unknown.

Tall, erect habit. Flowers in abundance but for a relatively short period in spring (2-3 weeks), however untypically for a Hybrid Spinosissima there is a weaker re-bloom in autumn, especially after the plant has established itself. Suckers freely. There is a sweet, honey-like scent. Flowers open creamy yellow but fade to white. Orange autumn foliage.

Rosa 'Sointu' is not a found rose. It is a new (1994) Finnish variety. 'Sointu' is a 'Snow Pavement' × R. polyantha cross and although marketed as a Rugosa hybrid, should probably be classified as a Modern Shrub.

If you need me to translate more of the description for you, I shall be happy to do so.

Moin! Mä yritin kääntää itseäni. Please check the translation. The 'Angel Rose' mentioned in the reference is most probably one of the two mini-polyantha series of Léonard Lille.
