Looking for a spectacular rambling rose

I have an arch, once occupied by a beautiful clematis which sadly up and died after some good years of service. The Arch leads from a flower garden to my veg plot and is a central feature. 
I have a golden opportunity for a good rambling rose. The site is half in share from a nearby tall copper beech hedge. I shall pamper.

My mind goes to a rose called Dorothy Perkins which flowers just the once with a profusion of pink flowers, but I wonder if there are any modern roses that are deeply scented and perhaps repeat flowering. Scent is important as we are always passing through

Any suggestions please?

    David Austin offers several repeat flowering perfumed ramblers - Malvern Hills - yellow; Lady of the Lake - pink and Snowgoose - white.   I suggest you look at their website and see which, if any, is suitable for part shade.

    Thank you O. That Malvern Hills looks delicious, I am seduced. I love those two tone roses. It does say full sun, so all I have to do now is persuade the sun to come up in a different location!
