I'm not sure if this is the formal definition, but I would think,
ordinary 縄 is rope made of rice straw or something like that, usually coarsely woven
しめ縄 is a special kind of 縄 that is hung at the entrance of a shrine as a symbol of purification
綱 is very much like regular rope, I don't think we use the word 綱 very often any more, except for 綱引き tug-of-war
we use the word ロープ a lot
Hope this helps.
