    ..ok... in the UK.. thank you...
    ...I should point out that when i.d'ing roses that are not well known, one needs considerably more information... I would need full bush shots, wide open blooms and lots of them, and taken during the summer not autumn... autumnal flowers can look very different...also close ups of the foliage,...  also some indication when the rose was planted also helps..

    ...as it stands the first one may be 'Anis Perfumella'... the 2nd I have no idea, I would need to see a lot more of this rose..

    Your first photo looks like Rose ' Burgundy Ice' not sure of the second one.

    'Burgundy Ice' is more purple than shown in the photo which looks pink to me, if the colours are accurate, but without seeing the foliage, more blooms and growth habit, ...it's impossible to be sure..

    Does anyone know what this rose is - I hound it’s picture and love it but can’t find anything quite like it - thought it might be a floribunda abracadabra but this is darker than those seem to be

    @harrietsblogg I think your probably right, it might just be the light making it look darker as thats very dark for a rose. Ive got Abracadabra and it can look like yours as each blooms very different.

    @harrietsblogg  😊 It looks to me as if the blue part of the colour spectrum has been accentuated in that photo, either by design or accident. If you look at the ‘white’ wall behind the rose  it has a strong blue/violet hue. This will have made the darker areas if petals to appear a much more purplish colour than it actually is. It’s also heightened the purplish tones in the leaves.

    ..this photo from Maurice, who doesn't use filters, shows the range of colours on this rose..
