There are two things I can suggest though -

1. The little spots are usually caused by rain, it happens to mine the same, especially the white ones.

2. Have a look at this David Austin page.
Your rose looks quite a lot like the one called 'Silver Anniversary,' (4th line down), but see what you think.

Can anyone help?
Take it back to the garden centre and explain to them your wife stole a cutting a while back. Then ask them if they can help with identification. I used to look after a small estate in central london and we had some terrific rhododendrons adjacent to a public pavement. They were forever being snipped by people passing by. Really cheesed me off. Had some right barneys with those idiots I can tell you.

I was thinking of the Countess of Wessex. Nothing to do with your Rose, I was just thinking about her.
