Help me Id this old rose

Can someone help me identify this rose? I am thinking maybe a hybrid perpetual. It was found at an old house place in North Alabama. the house was long gone so it is at least 40 years old. It grows well in South Alabama for me. It suckers, has 5 leaflets, 24 petals per flower. It is a silvery pink in color. It is rather ungainly in form, arching over and taking up a lot of space. It would probably be 6 or 7 feet high if it stood up straight. It only blooms in spring for me. I also posted in the Find this Rose forum, but have had no luck there.

Here is a link that might be useful: old found roses
