Here's a selection with those attributes by David Austin (other rose companies are available)

And here is a selection from Classic Roses (Peter Beales). If you are going to walk through the arch be careful of very prickly ones. Gertrude Jekyll is pretty and smells wonderful but she is very prickly!

The Generous Gardener is gorgeous and may tick your boxes. New Dawn is lovely too, but more of a champagne colour.

It’s one of my absolute favourites. The scent is delicious and even as the flowers fade, it looks beautiful.
