What is this bush?

I've lived in my house for three years now and I still haven't been able to figure out what kind of bush/shrub this is?

In the Spring/Summer it is covered in teeny tiny (smaller than a dime) sized white flowers, they look and smell very similar to roses. There are no thorns of any kind on this bush. I just recently cut it back but before it was about 10-15 feet tall. It seems to be growing with a whole bunch of shoots, instead of branching? It also puts off suckers. During the fall the leaves do change a rust color.

Any help on what it is and how to take care of it would be appreciated.
