Found Rose, Hybrid Tea.  
Bloom:
Pink, lighter reverse.  Pink stigmas, white filaments.  21 to 24 petals.  Double (17-25 petals) bloom form.  
Habit:
Upright.  Blue-green foliage.  
Patents:
Patent status unknown (to HelpMeFind).
Notes:
A cutting was taken in 1950 by Ruth Spencer (born in 1928) and it was her grandmother’s rose.
Patricia Routley asked Ruth for wood to be dropped off at Natalee Kuser’s ‘Aunt Myrtle’s Garden’ nursery, where Natalee budded it and supplied a plant to Patricia in 2002.
Cuttings taken in January 2019 are doing well.

A fine white pencil-type edging has been noted on the petals.
Very prickly pedicel
Hips are round.
Foliage is orbicular, blue-green to dark-green

‘Killarney’ 1898 is a good possibility.
‘Dark Pink Killarney’ 1910 also a possibility.

‘Lady Somers’ 1930 is yet to be investigated.

Discarded identifications:
Mrs. Fred Danks has pink filaments, whereas “Ruth Spencer’s Chowerup Pink HT” has white filaments.
Mrs. Georgia Chobe: said to be similar to 'Dame Edith Helen, and with light green foliage.
