Can you ID this cemetery rose?

Can you identify this little guy?

I'm pretty sure it's NOT The Fairy. (wrong foliage, few thorns, paler pink bloom)

Here's 2 photos of a rose I found growing in a little country cemetery in Hampton County, South Carolina.

The rose spread by suckers and covered an area 5'x5'. In the cemetery, the largest plants are about 15" high. They receive only natural rainfall.

The piece I put in a pot receives regular water and fertilizer and has grown to about 3'tall and almost as wide.

It has bloomed twice this spring and has more buds developing.

The blooms come mainly in clusters. Individual blooms are about 1" in diameter, light pink in color.
