Your picture is not very clear, but it looks like a standard rose.
It won't get much bigger, but unfortunately I don't know much about them - have a read on how to and when to prune.
It's lovely by the way!

Oh, and of course deadhead (cut the fading flowers off) to extend the flowering season.

They called it 'Rosie' so you're probably right! We're looking to start making the garden look nice by adding some flowers and I saw these and really loved them. Thanks for the replies! And this is at Lyme Hall if you've ever been that might be why.

Yes, standard rose. If you enlarge the picture you can make out the leaf shape. They’re due a come back - back forty or fifty years ago every big garden had its rose garden, with lots of bush roses, and standard roses to give height and an air of formality.
