I have a species known as Rosa dumalis that is grown in Sweden for commercial rose hip production. I got it as seed from a Romanian breeding station years ago. It produces as many as 11 hips to a cluster and the only disease it gets here is a touch of powdery mildew. It's a very large shrub with arching canes that have very few thorns. The hips are solid, not soft like rugosa and they hang on well into winter in good shape.

I love rosehips but have been disappointed so far trying to produce them
here in NC.

I planted a Rosa rugosa var: dwarf pavement for rose hips. I had good
production the first year of mediocre fruit, then the plant started
getting foliage problems and the rose hips would mummify instead of
developing normally. I am about to remove the plant.

Is there any disease resistant, low care rose someone would recommend
for tasty rosehip production in the humid southeast?
