There is a reference to this rose, under the names 'yellow centifolia' and 'Huysumiana' in a talk given at the 9th International Heritage Rose Conference by David Ruston.
cf., 9th International Heritage Rose Conference Proceedings, in Charleston, South Carolina, USA, in 2001.
Ruston's talk, "Old Roses of the Old Masters" was about paintings and painters of flowers in the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries, from Breugel to Redoute. He states, p. 112, that a painter named Van Huysum was the first to "paint the yellow centifolia rose now named Huysumiana, and that it was also painted by Jan van O's "50 years later and then lost".

Thanks Nastarana. We've added a paragraph from David's 2011 book which basically says the same thing.

R. hemisphaerica (gol-e zard, lit. “yellow rose”), an erect bush 1-1.5 m high, “a beautiful and characteristic species, related to R. foetida” (Zieliński, p. 8), with solitary yellow flowers (40-50 mm in diameter); habitat: Azerbaijan, Lorestān, Māzan darān, Semnān, Khorasan; also reported from Armenia, the republic of Azerbaijan, and Anatolia (geo-botanical details in Zieliński, p. 8). According to Ṯābeti (p. 647), “this [species] has a por-par [“double”] variety that has been cultivated in gardens and houses [in Persia] since times long past.” Johann Schlimmer reports (p. 492) that the gol-e zard, R. sulphurea (i.e., R. hemisphaerica), was introduced from Persia into Europe by the French scientist and traveler Guillaume-Antoine Olivier (1807) under the name R. berberifolia (according to modern nomenclature, however, the latter is a synonym of Rosa persica, mentioned above).
