I see the fat hips of Rosa dumalis on your photo. In a garden I have recently seen a Rosa canina growing together with another which I think is Rosa dumalis. The hips are 3cm long and 7 cm in diameter. This is quite a variable rose, but are the photos similar to your plant?

It certainly looks like it. Persistent calyxes and vicious sharp hooked prickles. It is similar to rubiginosa with flowers much darker than Rosa canina but lacks apple scented new shoots. In spring and summer the leaves have a blueish look, a bit like an alba rose.
