Hi Andee, without pictures it would be near impossible to ID your roses.
Because they are so widely grown, I'll take a stab in the dark with the yellow and suggest Peace or Gold Medal.
You can do an advanced rose search for Class; Hybrid Tea. Go into breeder and choose 'before' 1985 (because you think they are twenty years old) For color on the deep pink try, at the bottom of the choices. ARS deep pink or med red. On the red, med red or deep red. Good luck

Pretty rose. It's not Peace or Gold Medal. I did an advanced search for Hybrid Tea, yellow blend, breeding before 1985 (please do this too, there are a lot of similar roses)
Look at these and see how they compare; Adolf Horstmann, Oriental Dawn, Peer Gynt or Sister Therese.
My V for Victory is blushing like your picture now that it's cool. Does it always have so much pink?

It could be Angel Face. Do the blooms look like ruffles when it's fully open?
If not, then look at these; Azure Sea, Blue Nile, Evening Light or Lilac Dawn.
