Here is a page of pink roses from David Austin, so you see identifying, even with a photo, is difficult. http://www.davidaustinroses.co.uk/american/searchlist.asp Sorry, had a look and all the pink roses that were on that page have gone, don't know how to delete reply.
Ta Dove. I see others have given on alternatives so superfluous anyway. But I thought I'd give the correction in case anyone interested. I bought 14 roses from there in the winter. All doing very well. I liked their search engine so may be of use to G Deadhead.
I have no catalogues handy, so please excuse any spelling mistakes I may make. One rose that came to mind was an older one Zepherine Druid. This can be grown as a climber or as a column, it too has a wonderful scent, and is bright pink.. Try to find a picture it may be of help.

Can't get anywhere with that link Snoodle
This site has a similar search facility http://www.classicroses.co.uk/
Here's my Gertrude Jekyll, if that helps - certainly a strong scent (heavenly
)
Just seen all these amazing replies. I'll come back to you on this as soon as I have a photo (foliage included). Please bear with me.
Thank you to everybody!

If it's Gertrude Jekyll GDH then it is an amazing rose, I'm not an owner of one yet but hope to be soon, I hope your SIL is better soon.

Gertrude Jekyll - you wont be disappointed. A beautiful spicy and strong scent.
This rose was chosen to make essential oil of roses in the UK.
