What is this tree…shrub? and the name?

This plant grows like a tree, only A LOT faster. There are soft thorns or hairs all over the trunk and branches. As the trunk gets thicker, the hairs begin to fade away. It has beautiful pink fragrant flowers from early summer until fall. The flowers grow in bunches on the branches. It grows throughout my yard, popping up all over. I have tried to dig it up, but it all has the same root system and does not live once removed.

Perhaps a Mimosa tree?
