Lynnette,
Thank you for your inquiry. Below are some links to information on Multiflora rose that have some really good images of identifying characteristics that you can compare to your plant. That way you can at least confirm or eliminate Rosa multiflora.

Without a bit more to go on (flowers or fruit) it would be difficult to positively identify the rose at this point in the season. Maybe next year at flowering time - typically June around here.
