Can anyone identify this rose?

This rose is growing throughout much, though not all, of the Reilly Cemetery, it has a lemony scent and can get quite tall in the right location. It's also unbelievably hardy and has most likely been growing there for more than a century with no help. The thorns are quite small and not terribly vicious and some stalks are almost thorn free. I have an opinion (of course) but I would very much like to know what others think this rose may be.

Another delightful find for this (edited for privacy purposes Nov 2012) girl...there are live ELM TREES at Reilly Cemetery. I have never seen a living elm tree as of course they were wiped out in Ontario decades ago. Darn, today's pics don't show them well but they ARE there and that is seriously cool. Nice shade trees...

Check out the new and improved view...

Today was lay out the grid day after The Great Clear-a-thon on Saturday. I was amazed at how much the 5 of them accomplished and wow, is the view ever improved! Before I was walking around to the back and outside of the cemetery to get pictures of the setting, now I can take shots from well inside the cemetery and actually see out to the north, east and west. This is a massive improvement and the entire place feels so much better. I ran out of stakes so I will have to record some squares and then I can swipe reuse some for the remaining back bit. So tomorrow is records making and as this area is very large it will probably take at least one day, if not more, to complete. Lots of features too...but I'm getting ahead of myself...
