Old roses, disease resistant

We have a wonderful full pink rose bush, given to us by some friends. They
don't know the variety, just that it is wonderful.
 Very disease resistant upright shrub rose. The canes are now 4 feet tall,
after 3 years. The flowers are full, with recurving outer petals. They fall
from the bush, unless wet, then they just form a mop and stay on the bush,
even after the mop has dried. (Not a bad problem, considering it's disease
resistant!)
 Wonderful 'non heavy' fragrance, it's very fragrant. blooms are 20+ petals
and blooms are usually 3 to a stalk, rarely as a single long stem. The
leaves are dark green and glossy.
 Their rose bush was buried in a forsythia bush, until I transpanted it for
them 4 years ago. They gave me a small runner off it, which finally made it
into the ground after a year.

Thanks for any info you can provide,
