Can anyone identify this rose?

last year

This rose was given to my mother in the 60's or 70's I think by a good friend of hers. She planted it behind a rather large Peace rose and I discovered it when I went to help in 2016. It had survived in partial shade and mostly neglect in Arlington, OR.. Super hot summers and very dry, prairie conditions. I tried to take the whole rose when the house was sold and unfortunately I failed to keep it alive. It had a light sweet fragrance and the flowers start out dark pink/coral and fade to light pink with a tint of yellow in the center. Any help would be appreciated. I would like to replace for myself and the daughter of my mother's friend. Thanks for any help!!

It reminds me of Bambi, a 1962 floribunda, bred by Gordon Von Abrams and introduced by Peterson and Dering in Scappoose, Oregon. https://www.helpmefind.com/rose/l.php?l=2.20448.0&tab=1 I'm afraid it's likely extinct. Sequoia Nursery is the only listed source and they closed 18 years ago. The only two gardens listed growing it were Diana's Skyline in Northern California and Diana passed away probably 15+ years ago and my old Newhall garden which was dismantled 18 years ago. The only photo of it on Help Me Find-Roses is from Brent Dickerson's garden eight years ago. Perhaps he may still grow it? Edit: no, he also lost it.
