I was thinking about R.rugosa scabrosa which has very fleshy ripe hips just now in my yard. However locally , the hips of invasive R.eglanteria is used extensively for the same purpose. One finds rose hip marmalade regularly in stores here and is a tourist attraction. ( not now with COVID restrictions... Sighing! ). I had to clean my property from R.e. It asked for a four year major operation, before it regained the character of a farm. So it IS very invasive. However, the foliage is fragrant ( apples) and sets plenty of hips! I have plenty of hips of volunteer R.e. bushes that escaped my wrath! Angry
