Identify this White Rose!

I saw this rose at the Donkey Sanctuary in Sidmouth last week, unfortunately it wasn't labelled like some of the others. It smelled divine! Would like to know what it is if anyone is able to point me in the right direction. It's multi/cluster headed, all white and looks like a climber/rambling. TIA 😊

I’d say Icebergs but they are not known for their scent. Although, with so many blooms it may seem stronger than normal?

It looks like my parents' Penelope rose, although that has a slight pink hue before it comes out fully. It does smell lovely.
Edited to add: my "Picture This" app says it's a Lady Banks's rose (it's not always accurate though!)

Have a look on the David Austen website at the rambling roses. There’s a few on there that it could be.

Although this is a dangerous thing to do because now I’m wondering where I could plant a rambling rose…

It looks like Wedding Day which is a very vigorous climber and smells strongly and beautifully. However, usually blooms late May/early June, at least in London.

@DifficultBloodyWoman I had thought of Icebergs but the smell was very strong!

It's not wedding day. I have the climber and the rambler of wedding day and they Are both different. The rambler has single flowers and the climber , the flowers are single and not in clusters.

Whatever it is is it beautiful. Always space for another rose.

My Iceberg is pure white, no hint of any colour and no scent at all

I have a couple of Icebergs too but mine are very lightly scented and have a bit of both pink and yellow in them towards the end of their flowering season. I have been told it could be related to the soil nutrients.
