    For some time I have believed this is jasmine. But, looking at Wikipedia's description of jasmine makes me think I must be wrong. They describe a flower having a more rose-like appearance

    Looks like Jasminum to me. Possibly Jasminum polyanthum. The Wiki images are of double flowered cultivar. Those flowers are not really typical for jasmine. More typical are the star-shaped flowers on your plant.

    Might compare it to Trachelospermum jasminoides.
