It's highly likely the plants you are describing in your query are not roses. All roses have both the male and female reproductive anatomy and technically can serve as either the seed or the pollen parent. Not all roses are fertile and some roses are better seed parents than pollen parents while others are better pollen parents than seed parents, but that is due to the rose itself. Seeds for roses can be found in rose hips which are the "fruit" of the plant. Although there are a variety of shapes and sizes of various rose hips, I cannot recall any that are shaped like a miniature pine cone. They more often resemble apples which are in the same horticultural family as roses.
