Im wondering if i could get help identifying this rose. my parents bought the house i live in in 73 & this rose bush was already there. the house was built in 1950. i have tried looking on the internet but cant seem to get the right one & hope that someone here might know what variety it is. when it first opens up, it is a light pink, then it turns to a darker pink. the inside is yellow & it really reminds me of a carnation. we are going to be moving in the near future & i would like to take some of this with me to plant as i have lived in this house since i was 1 year old. parting with something that has been my home for over 40 years is quite hard. there are multiple trunks or branches that come up out of the ground but in 2 places. they are clustered in the one location, probably about 6 different branches in the one side but about 8" over is another branch that comes up, it is the one with most of the flowers on it this year. i am a terrible gardener, always watering too much or too little & often kill plants & flowers, not intentionally though. im just bad at it i guess. i hope that the description & pictures are good enough to get this variety figured out. thanks so much in advance!

ps, if you bang the bush, all the petals will easily fly off the flower. my lovely neighbor while leaving one day hit it & there was petals everywhere after it caught on the mirror. i promise you, she did it on purpose.
