Just wait. ‘Mme. Lambard’ sets many huge hips.

Gorgeous Rafael!
Do you have a close-up photo of the bud in profile?
Does this rose open to show stamens or is there a knot of short petals in the centre?

My comment somehow disappeared. I said it looked like Maman Cochet, but I couldn't be sure.

You did say that HubertG. and I particularly noted your comment. I thought that you were aware that Maman Cochet does not set hips and deleted the comment yourself.
Rafael, I should have been clearer. With time the hips grow really large - you just have to leave them to grow. Here the bushes eventually almost look like a fruit tree laden with small red apples. I enjoy deadheading at last as the new spring growth pushes out, hearing the thump, thump, thump as the hips hit the ground.

I can't see any hips in the photos. There are a couple of buds in the third photo (at the top towards the left) which appear to have a flattened base to the receptacles, but it's not distinct. That also suggests Maman Cochet to me.
