Could you please help me ID this pink one? Your help will be highly aprreciated.

I was just passing by my neighbour’s house when she was rearranging her front yard and was ready to toss this peony. I took the poor peony, dug a hole and planted it. This was all happening last June. Surprisingly the peony kept the leaves and several buds although it has been transplanted in the middle of the growing season.

It is light, light pink, fading to almost white with a potential for carmine-streaking.

The only negative that I can say is that the flowers cannot tolerate rain. They get disfigured. I don’t have lots of experience with garden peonies, so if you know how to prevent those ugly yellowish-brownish spots caused by rain, please let me know.
