Who knows a climbing rose, that makes hips the size of figs or Mespilus Germanica?

Mme. Berard might be one to consider.

Thank You Sherri,
The only hip-photo on HMF shows it green, but it has some resemblance in form.
I saw, that You grow this rose, so You might have seen the hips for real... and might compare them with mine as an expert by personal experience!
I'll give the tea-house in the park a phone-call too. But doubt if they'll know the name of this rose.

Please see the photo I just posted under Mme. Berard. Another feature is the smooth stems of this rose. The plant I grow sets a large quantity of hips.

Thank You very much Sherri for the photos of the hips and rose.
There is ofcourse still some healthy doubt, for the hip my wife found in the park ( http://www.ramswoerthe.info/page27.php ) has the colours of a ripe mango or cactus-fig.
But the size and form seem to match.
Didn't reach the tea-house untill now.

'Mme Grégoire Staechelin' and various Gigantea-Hybrids also produce very large hips.

A Gigantea Hybrid is not likely in our climate-zone; Mme Grégoire Staechelin is a possibillity, but couldn't find hips of it. Will call the green-department of the city hall of that town. Then I'll report.

Hello,
I talked to the "Green-man" of the cityhall and he told me after some search, that the climbing-roses at the Tea House are: Guinée and Crimson Rambler.
I think the latter doesn't form that big hips, for it's a Multiflora-rambler.
Does any-one know the size of the hips and seeds of this rose, or does have photo's?
I would be much obliged, if one would upload them on HMF.
