Rosa palustris, Swamp Rose? The thorns and stipules match, although this species can grow tall. I'm not sure why their growth would be stunted, perhaps drier conditions? The other alternative would be Rosa carolina. You will have to confirm if the flattened disk of styles in the flower is pink or orange.

Is leaflet # definitive? Prolly not, IDK.

We do have swamp rose in my area. As I remember they tend to have a dull, almost grey cast on the foliage, not sure if they have started blooming yet. To clarify, this is the same as yesterday's rose.

I think that your rosa is palustris because it has 9 leaflets and the unusual colored styles. What you think is a swamp rose must be something else? It also occurs along all the major roads, Also, Rosa palustris has at least 20 teeth per leaflet side, like yours.
