I was told it is great maidens blush by who gave me the cuttings but it is blooming in the fall and it was blooming in December in their garden
the leaflets don’t look the same as on HMF, it is not thornless, and the sepals are not ornamental

Looking at the leaves, rather than the bloom, they don’t look like the Maiden’s Blush I have. But I realize that the photos might not match the actual color shade. Do the leaves have an Alba color to them? My Maiden’s Blush is definitely distinctive from the other shrubs in the border.
The seedling I am growing from it also has that hue.

The color is pretty accurate, but if I recall the mother plant I received cuttings from had slightly darker foliage

I also don’t that this is any rose typically associated with the name ‘Maiden’s Blush’. I’m pretty sure that it is a modern cultivar. More photos of the flowers, buds, and leaves as the plant matures would be helpful for getting closer to an ID.

This is my ‘Great Maiden’s Blush’ here in Canada…
Blue-green foliage and blooms only once in June. No repeat.

Thank you everyone for your inputs! Even the mature plant I received the cuttings from looked different than all your images here.
The buds were fat and flat and had reddish pink tips on the petals. At the moment it doesn’t seem like my plant is Great Maidens Blush so I will assume it’s not unless proven otherwise
