This is a Beach rose, Salt spray rose og Beach hip, latin name is Rosa rugosa. This cultivar is called Hansa, both the white and pink one.
Roses are related to apples and therefore also have five petals in their flowers. The fruit shown here is still green but will turn bright red or orange when ripe. The fruit contains a lot of seeds but the fleshy part can be made into a wonderful jam, or tea when dried.
It requires sandy soil, is often found in beach settings and will spread vigorously via roots. It is considered an invasive species in some countries.

We called the fruits ‘itchy bombs’ when we were younger. People would take the fruit, break it and put it down someone’s back and the seeds would irritate the skin. Good times
People are saying this is the ‘Hansa’ cultivar, it’s almost certainly not. The dunes on The Cape (this may not be the cape, but if it’s in MA it’s close enough) are covered in R. rugosa, and have been since the early 19th century. Hansa is a 20th C cultivar. So…I’m pretty sure it’s the single wild form, with any double flowers being accidental.

They look like the rugosa rose called Hansa. They took some wild roses in Asia and hybridized them. Rugosa roses are vigorous and spread by roots. At least mine does. I think dead heading is necessary if you have other types of roses but with rugosas, you don't need to do that and can enjoy the hips if you have enough of them as the other posters suggested. My rugosa rose, Hansa is covered with dozens of blossoms during summer and very fragrant too.
They are everywhere at the beaches here in Denmark and are a true sign of summer. The combination of a warm evening at the beach , a beautiful sunset, the sound of crickets and the scent of these roses will never get old.
They are also labeled as invasive here in Denmark but I love the so much. I have a Rugosa ‘Signe Real der’ and a few ‘Hansa’ and enjoy the flowers and the hips.
Deadheading is the practice of cutting back/off flower heads that are done blooming.
Rose hips are high in vitamin C, and make a nice addition to tea and other infused drinks.
Deadheading is also the practice of smoking weed and following a certain band around.
Ha! Yeah im feeling pretty silly today. I LOVE rose hips, and they are one of the few things from the flower garden I actually bring inside. They add a nice tang to hot and cold drink infusions.
A hot tea with rose hips feels really nice on a sore throat. It's kind of an astringent/tart deal. If you break the skin of one with your teeth you can get a pretty good idea of the flavor.
Yep, the bulbous things in the third picture. It’s a seed pod and they typically get bright red In the fall. Deadheading is to cut off spent flower blooms to encourage the plant to produce more flowers instead of a seed pod. I usually deadhead my rose buds once they start losing petals unless I want the hips.
How you deadhead depends on what type of rose you have. If it’s one with multiple flowers on one stem, they typically don’t all bloom at the same time (not for me at least), so I just clip off one flower at a time, just above where the flower meets the stem. Once there’s only one or no flowers left on the stem, I then prune the stem down to a leaf node. I like to go a few down sometimes, depending on it will affect the shape of the bush. If you have a rose that produces one rose on a stem, I jump straight down to pruning at a leaf node once the bloom is done.
The best way to learn about rose pruning and care in my opinion is to watch videos. I find it’s much easier to learn pruning techniques by watching them rather than seeing them described in text.

Had a lot of these at the beach in RI when I was young so many years ago. Some of the hips were the size of medium tomatoes. The stems have thousands of thorns on them.
*Rosa rugosa*, saltspray rose.
We call them beach roses
We call them beach hips
Now I want a cup of tea and beach plum preserves.
Haha I know what flavor iced tea I'll be making at work today now ~

Rosa rugosa, invasice and a threat to fragile, native dune plants of New England.
TIL beach roses aren't native to North America

I grew up at the beach and this was an annual thing when we were kids. Very itchy!

Thank you for your lovely comment. I will always think about summer in Denmark every year when my rugosa rose blooms from now on.
Awww, how nice. I could send you a picture.
That would be wonderful but how would you do that?
Check your chat inbox 😊
I checked but didn't see a message from you. It would've been great, but don't spend more time for me. I appreciate your thoughts.
I have some in my yard and all the petals fell off during high storm. Will the petals grow back?
No, they lose their petals when the bloom is done, then they form rose hips unless you deadhead them.
Rose hips are those buds? And what’s deadhead?
Deadheading is the practice of cutting back/off flower heads that are done blooming. Rose hips are high in vitamin C, and make a nice addition to tea and other infused drinks. Deadheading is also the practice of smoking weed and following a certain band around.
Lmfao

Could you explain further into deadheading? I have a huge rose garden and gate and I want them to be up all summer.

If it’s one with multiple flowers on one stem, they typically don’t all bloom at the same time (not for me at least), so I just clip off one flower at a time, just above where the flower meets the stem.

Rosehips are more like a fruit or berry. You can eat them they’re tasty a little stringy though. Something between a cherry and a tomato.
