Le Fleur

Jim at The Gaudy Garden requested to see my roses, and since I only have two rose bushes I opted to make today a Flower Tuesday.  Besides, I have a bush that I have no idea what it is, and I'm hoping for a little help in identifying it.
This is my Nearly Wild Rose

My Something Rose.  I don't remember what kind of rose this is, but it starts out red, then gets more yellow in it, before it fades to a pretty pink

My Something Rose Bush
Got this plant from a neighbor.  He called it Sweet Betsy.  It has these little brown pods that open up like flowers.  They smell like strawberry wine coolers.
Then there's this bush.  It looks like a rose bush, but it has no thorns.  It was growing behind the shed when we moved in, so I dug it up and transplanted it.

And these are the flowers.  We've never seen it bloom.  We transplanted it last spring and it didn't bloom.  But this year it did.  In fact, it just started blooming this past week.  There are tiny buds all over.  Does anyone have any idea what kind of plant this is?  If it blooms  all over like this it will be very pretty.
