A few varieties have hips that are delicious when made into jam or soup, or sometimes nibble right of the bush.  These hips are a good source of vitamin C.  If you have a rose bush, don't pick the flowers and you will see the hips form.-Mark Lee, Seattle

The best rose for overall production AND quality I have found is Rosa dumalis (seehttp://linnaeus.nrm.se/flora/di/rosa/rosa/rosadum.html)  which has as many as 11 hips to a cluster and very good flavor.  The character and quality in the few I have are as variable as apples - early, late, tart, sweet, high flavor, etc.
