Know this pink rose?

It was a mild winter without a flake of snow in the Netherlands and spring was more than a month ahead of schedule--so all the roses are in bloom! Lots and lots of pink and white dog roses and magenta rugosa along the highway. And in town...hybrid teas, and lots of climbers flanking doorways. Here is a beautiful pink one in full bloom, very healthy and extremely fragrant... Anyone knows the ID of this one?

That looks a lot like Zephirine Drouhin. Does it have any thorns?

I do believe you nailed the id of this rose Muscovy. Why I didn't think of ZD then--i mean i noticed the color, fragrance, thornlessness and then my mind went blank. Anyway, the rose appeared healthy, without a speck of bs, no mildew etc., and pretty common here because i saw a number of beautifully grown specimens.
