For destructive interference, two waves on a rope will have to have the exact same amplitude but opposite phase (peak has to collide with a trough), and since one will face up and other down, at meeting point they will interfere destructively, and rope will return to neutral straight position (their freqencies will also have to be the same, if one is to keep making waves on a rope).
