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

Picture brings back memories...nice family photo. I was born in '49.
Can't make out the rose. I remember my Mom had a light pink rambler that she
tried desperately to kill even with gas and burning. Poor thing always came
back and is at the old homeplace to this day along with the wisteria that
covers every thing in its path!
Good luck in your quest.

Thank you for the suggestion, I am writing them now. Here is the only
photo I have, and you sure can't tell much from that. You can see the
large trellis in the background.

I think it was taken either in the early spring or late fall of 1949
because one of the people in the photo died July 31, 1950, could have
been spring 1950.
