Pimpinellifolia ?

Could this be a pimpinellifolia?
It has very tiny to small as a match head
leaves, seven and nine to a leaflet. These
tiny leaves are oval, medium green, with a 
center vein that slightly cups each leaf.
The new growth is tiny and looks orange.

All the wood is dark brownish red with 1/4
inch pale gray spiny thorns that cover the 
wood(more like spines than thorns).

The small bush is 24 inches tall and only
12 wide and very upright. 

There was once a homestead near the
area I found it at, in my forest of small 
trees, a month ago. 
I was looking threw Beales book, 
"Classic Roses" in my library and the
foliage looks a little like that on page 
146-R.Sericea, or page 142-Glory of 
Edzell.

I have yet to see it bloom, so I may be
fooled, but I'm sure it is some kind of
a rose. 
  
I live in Northwestern Oregon zone 6 or
some say 8. We are in a warm belt here.
This area was homesteaded in the late
1800's.  
Is this just a wild rose? It's not like the
other wild roses here.
Will it be a total mystery till it blooms?
Am I anywhere on the right track?
Any clues?
