Small red single??? and sawfly larva

Hi everyone. This came with the house. The flowers are quite small. I am new to the whole "rose maintenance" thing.

Heres the whole bush

Single flower

I have another bush with flowers that look exactly like these, but the color is hot pink. The hot pink bush is in a much shadier bed, so not nearly as many blooms. Can less sun make the colors different and it still be the same rose?

Also, I'm sure in the closeup you can see the sawfly damage on the leaf. They have been treated successfully(a little late though... atleast I know for next year to do it as soon as leaves come out). My question is, will sawfly larva come back the same season? I keep checking them everyday, and I see no new ones.

Any info on the best method of pruning and care for these would be most welcome as well. I cut them back pretty far last year and they seem to want to get these long arms... is it more of a climber? Thanks in advance. Kim
