Would anyone be able to help me ID this rose?
It was already in our garden when we bought this house 10 yrs ago. It is 7ft tall and all growth above 2ft is new this year (every year). It grows rapidly and very high. The blooms are produced in sprays. They are dark pink before they open and fade until pale pink as they die off. They are fragranced. It blooms fully now in late May/June (Guernsey) but will carry on all summer.
I love the rose but the attempts to grown cuttings have failed although I managed to grow from seed, although I'm not sure if that was worth doing.
So failing anything else I would love to be able to buy another plant! Any suggestions gratefully received.

Sorry my photos aren't uploading!
Well frustratingly I cannot upload any pictures into this post. When I select the file to add it, nothing happens and it returns to what it looked like before I clicked on the camera. I've tried reducing the file size, logging on from a laptop and a mobile... Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?
Do you see the 'progress bar' moving from left to right at the bottom of the message pane while you photo is uploaded? It takes about 15-20 seconds usually for me on my PC

Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit.
Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.
Hurrah

I can't enlarge your photos, so I would need to see a close up of both an individual fully open bloom and a bloom cluster. That would be helpful I think...
Would it be Gertrude Jekyll? Can't see much on photo but growing habit and scent would indicate it's a possibility if so it's a David Austin rose I think.
Not sure, but don't think its Gertrude Jekyll - here's a close up of my GJ for comparison
It could be Queen Elizabeth
