  from the look of this rose, it is an old fashioned Hybrid Tea rose, and there are some very good suppliers of them, - try Fryers roses, or Harkness roses.

   

  but if you want to replace with a modern bush rose which are resistant to more diseases, try Brother Cadfael, which is similar colour .

  I am pretty sure that is the floribunda rose 'Queen Elizabeth' - I have encountered this several times in my 'older generation' garden clients, very pretty.

  Hi Dani, if replanting, don't forget not advisable to put where the other one was previously in case rose soil sickness. You don't want it to suffer same fate as its predecessor!

  Thanks Sarah - is the queen elizabeth a climber? this one is apparently... still a bit of a mystery but I've found some similiar climbing varieties...  David Austin does Janet Climbing which is quite similiar as well.

  Thanks Jenny too -  the old one was actually dug up and destroyed by builders can you believe! Lots of new topsoil going in so new ones should be fine.

  Thanks all.
