What are these Roses?

I wondered if it was possible that anyone could identify this Rose for me? It was growing in our garden when we moved in and it smells divine, almost like a rose-strawberry scent.
It's a repeat flowerer, and the current blooms are actually quite small in comparison to the earlier ones (perhaps because of the hot weather) they're normally about palm sized and go pinky round the edges as they age as seen in the 3rd picture.
Were moving soon and I'd love to perhaps buy one for our new garden.
We also have two very tall roses next to it with big pink flowers, sometimes as big as my whole hand, they also have a very sweet scent. If anyone can identify those too I'd be delighted! When I say tall... The first year we were here I knew nothing about pruning and they easily ended up 8ft tall over the course of the summer! I had to tie them to each other to stop them falling over. I now keep them around the 4-5ft mark.

the yellow one 'Korresia' [80%]... and the pink one 'Queen Elizabeth' [95%].. which was named for the late Queen Mother incidentally, not the present Queen.. some people say it lacks scent, others find it strong... but it certainly performs according to your description..
