| 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. |
