Hello again,
I’ve found this Rose with big white flowers 2 weeks ago.
She has no thorns (!) and grew next to a rose arch which was occupied by an overgrowing rootstock or wild rose. The habit was more hybrid-tea like but the location or overgrowing rootstock seemed to have weakened her just a bit. Nevertheless she grew over a meter, seemed too stiff to be a climber, but she could be cut more than needed.
She flowered mid-june in Germany and for now (end of june) has no flowers just big green pedicels (?). Big white flowers with a pink hue, could be scented but I just remember their beauty. Didn’t seem like Gruß an Aachen to me, but that one is a shape-shifter.

If it produces more crops of flowers, it would be worth looking at Mme Alfred Carriere. Most people consider it scented. Though it would be ambitious for someone to plant a rose which can get very big, in a restricted site.

Thank you! I think it really is Mme. Alfred Carriere. All those features revealed her, even the unripe hips check as well. Her anomaly could be explained by the subpar location which the rootstock took advantage of.
But don’t be fooled, the arch is over 2 meters at the highest point, but you’re right a Noisette will still need and take up more space.
Even two low-climbing Roses would have been better suited, but they may not possess the beauty of those flowers.

You're welcome. I can't help with your red rose, unless it's Crimson Glory (1935) - I don't know modern roses at all.

It will be that newer Kordes-Rose, but I was amazed, in the local rosary it was a rather ugly burned dark-red rose.
Have you by chance experienced “Crimson King”?

I noticed a scent on the opened flowers a time ago. Today there were only closed ones, but when I removed the petals of a riper flower, there was a strong Rugosa-like scent with a touch of apricot.
They might be so packed the scent doesn’t come through, only when the flowers open up before they brown.
This year it reached over 2 meters after some ground melioration.

Beautiful flowers! Horrible rust in SF.
Let’s see how it does in a drier location.
