Help to ID a Rose

This rose is a low growing (less than 2') groundcover type of rose. It competes with the other tall plants and still thrives. It is clearly no the weedy thorny rose bushes.

I wonder if that is Rosa blanda, low-growing species rose found in New Jersey, not many prickles (thorns). Rosa blanda's color can vary from pink to pink/white to pale pink to white.
Not sure on ID, though, have not seen it in person.

The rose grows tendor, with some small thin thorns. The old leaves are dark green. The flowers are single light pink.

It grows in the wild in clump. I like it much better than its big brother the thorny wild rose. It is a beast here.

Another possibility could be Rosa carolina, which blooms later than many of the other species roses here in the East. Can't really tell from the photos given, tho.

I think this is Rosa carolina. It grows really low, just 2' tall. The flower petals curve inside the inside part stays very contained.
