I'm trying to identify what rose this could possibly be (looks similar to my first one, but not the same).

This rose is in my neighbor's garden (she has since passed away and new owners at the property). I know she was a great gardener, but her plot has since gone downhill these past 15 years with neglect. This rose keeps peeking out of a mass of weeds and I'd like to save it just in case it's an older or rare rose, not to mention beautiful.

I believe this only blooms once (but also never saw it deadheaded). It has very large, long, thorny canes (but not sure if it's because it's trying to grow tall and bust through the weeds). It's more in the 6' range in height, but could be longer than I realize. Flowers are 2.5 to 3 inches in diameter, with a sweet and spicy fragrance, color is pink from afar with a blue/violet undertone.

Thoughts??

I have seen a similar faint stripe on my possible ‘Queen of the Bourbons’. Your photos were excellent by the way, giving us good details to attempt an identification.
