I don't grow a lot of species but my R. roxburghii plena and R. virginiana have spiny hips. This last rose has similar thorns to the ones I see in your photos. The leaves have superb colour in autumn.

Thanks, Patricia.
I was leaning toward Rosa virgininica.

Doesn't look like a hip to me, when I'm not mistaken, it looks like a gall.

Jay, when I first noticed it I thought it was a clump of small cockleburs from burdock or something.
I brought a piece home with me and I just re-checked it. It is definitely attached to the rose by a stem rather than engulfing the stem the way I suppose a gall would. I opened a couple and they all seem sterile, but a defined seed cavity. I hope to be back up there in a few days. Maybe I can find a hip of this year's flower.

Maybe the flowerbottom looks the same, but over here it can look, as if galls have a stem, when it's a bud-gall.

You were absolutely right. I re-checked the same plant found more spurred objects. Cracked one open and it had tiny worms inside. Also, I found more conventional looking hips on the plant just under a 1/2" diameter.
Thanks.

Another rose rustling expedition. This time by invitation from my neighbor across the hill.
I thought it was just a plain ol' rugoso, but the more I've searched it, the confused-er I've gotten.
2 years ago I pruned out dead canes, and there were only a few this time. The rose has received not a lot of pampering since planted 20+ years ago. The neighbor said she thinks someone gave her a start.
It has gorgeous hips, light orange - red that have mostly softened and the flesh has a surprisingly very mild taste.
I took 8 cuttings. Flowers are just gone. I found a single magenta petal. I remember it as a slight double with no, or very little, fragrence. It's emits some sucker. Technically, it is 2 plants about 3 feet apart. They are about 10-12' tall.
Thanks.

Looks like oneof the Rugosa's. Whatkind of prickles does it have?

On new canes, thorns are straight, densely, randomly spaced and vary in size.
As the cane ages, there are fewer and fewer thorns.
It seems to be taller than most references to R. rugosa, so I thought it might be a recognizable hybrid.

Ofcourse... one of the Hybrids.

The linked photo is a single.

I suspect the photographer was showing the size of the plant that 'Awakening' can be, and that the visible blooms might be clematis. There are blooms at ground level as well.
