I am new here and old at the same time as I haven't been on in a long time. Bought a house and in the backyard are two old rose bushes. From the size of the base of the plants, I'd say they've been there thirty years or more. The plants are huge, they are going over my five feet, two inches. I gave them a "hair cut" over the winter and they are now starting their blooming. I've looked over so many photos trying to compare in order to identify, that everything is now blurry! Photos are below. Any help id'ing these will be appreciated!

Nothing that is observed is unaffected by the observer.
I had someone else tell me the same thing. So I looked it up. I do think that they are Hybrid Tea roses called "Peace." Named in 1945 on the same day as the peace treaty in Berlin ended WWII in Europe. So its still considered a "modern" rose. They are double roses too.
Thanks!
