Default Does anyone know the name of an old rose popular in the 1940'sand 1950's?

Ours was a rental house and it had been there since at least before
1943, very mature, was huge, on a large trellis, very tall and very
wide. I don't know a multiflora from a grandiflora, but it had clusters
of small (maybe 1-inch?), double, medium pink to rose colored blooms,
for a long period during the summer. Don't remember a particular
fragrance and it wasn't much for cutting, but sure looked beautiful when
it bloomed. It required no care that I remember.


Cecile Brunner?
