Can anyone identify this rose for me please? We bought it 2 years ago
and the label has disappeared. It is growing up one side of an arch
and we want another, the same, for the other side.

ANY suggestions would be very much appreciated.... if we just see
the name it will probably 'ring a bell' and we will know immediately
if it is correct!

Some details that might be helpful are.....
Mildly perfumed
Short stemmed flowers

I've placed some pictures here.... hopefully you can click on these
links and see them (fingers crossed).

A bit like "Gertrude Jekyll" for colour but the bud looks more like a Tea
Rose.
Take a look....

Thanks for that suggestion Bob, but I think that one has too many
petals, any other suggestions would be gratefully received!

Guaranteed way of getting the same would be to take a cutting. But I can
quite understand you'd like to move a bit more quickly than that.

If you go through the David Austin online catalogue, using the search terms
of pink, climbing and so forth, that might help you.

Last year we were bought a small bunch of the darkest red roses and after
the flowers started to go over I used the stems as cutting on the off
chance, nothing lost, and any resulting plant would be a reminder of that
person. Just pushed them into the soil in the garden, a dampish protected
spot otherwise nothing special at all.
Three are putting out leaves.

They can do that. It doesn't necessarily mean that they've rooted.

Cross my fingers for you. You could get lucky.

Looking at various websites it would appear that 'Pink Perpetue' is about
the nearest, including the glossy leaves and slight fragrance.

The OP's rose has more of a classic 'HT' shape and is a deeper pink. I
don't think this is the correct identification, even if it is the
nearest as far as pictures on the web are concerned

Could count the petals when it blooms this year as 'Pink Perpetue' is
supposed to have 32
