Thank you for contacting the Toronto Master Gardeners. The rounded pink blooms and large leaves in your photo suggest that you have Hydrangea macrophylla.  It is difficult to see some parts of the plant clearly in this photo and an identification key is attached below that may help you to verify the plant attributes.  As for the specific variety or cultivar it is a challenge to identify with certainty as there are many and can vary in name and breeding from one nursery to another.  Nonetheless, macrophylla hydrangeas all require similar care.  They bloom on old wood and rarely need pruning.  If pruning must be done, clip stems back to a pair of buds immediately after blooms fade.  They like moist but not soggy soils and will tolerate partial or full sun.  Further information about hydrangea care is attached below.
