Angel Face is a floribunda and that foliage doesn't look unlike floribunda foliage to me, so it could be a different floribunda, such as Magenta, for instance.

Here's a very long shot, and if it were right, it would be a heck of a coincidence.

For years I thought I had grown Angel Face in a certain spot. It quickly died, the way Angel Face always does in my neighborhood. Don't ask why, because it's a mystery, but no one in my neighborhood can grow Angel Face in the regular version, as a tree, or of the climbing variety. I managed to grow one all the way to the blooming stage last year, but it rapidly gave up the ghost afterward.

Years later, a rose sprang up in that spot where Angel Face had died and it started putting out the most beautiful blooms -- tons of petals, just like your rose, Angie. It was subsequently identified as Lilac Dawn.
