[rosemay]

I'm going to take a wild guess with the possibility of it being "The Fairy" in a standard form. Are you familiar with The Fairy? It has rather small leaves, and smallish pink blooms. It's a great old polyantha rose.

here's some info: https://www.helpmefind.com/rose/pl.php?n=2482

Maybe it's a William Baffin? They can be grown as either climbers or large, sort of weepy shrubs.

Great bright pink blooms, too.

I've grown William Baffin, and although it's a great rose, I absolutely cannot imagine it being grown as a standard.

Mine was a MONSTER in size!
It was about 8 feet tall and every bit as wide.

Mine is that size, too, but it's not trained as a climber. It just grows along happily--it's blooming right now--at a corner of our privacy fence, and hides the side gate of the fence from view.

It grows mostly upright, with a few branches that reach further out in graceful arches.
