I've grown Dart's Dash for some years. The hips seem the same as standard rugosa seedling I have, though the DD bush is about half the size with a much neater growth habit.

I don't know about North Carolina, but Robert Osborne of Corn Hill
Nursery in southern New Brunswick, who grows many hardy disease
resistant roses, recommends two rugosas for hip production:
1. Dart's Dash
2. Fru Dagmar Hastrup
He no longer ships to the U.S., but Fru Dagmar Hastrup at least should
be readily available.
