The rosehips are filled with seeds. We used to pop them open, them put them doown the back of our friends' shirts. My mother made rosehip jelly whe there were a lot of them.
Sooo pretty, and my favorite color.

they are so sweet and delicate
Very nice. Rosa Rugosa. They grow wild at some beaches. I had some by the barn. White and pink. They make almost impenetrable hedges.

This is what roses originally looked like, (as far as science can tell).
Presumably a mutation happened, in which the rose had multi layers of petals, of course some human noticed and kept that trait going. (And further experimentation created further varieties)
@njoy_life_2 thanks
oh, i love them! they remind me of the little north sea islands off the coast of my former german home.

I was amazed how they grew on the coast of Maine. So hardy and versatile
@btroje, it seems they actually prefer the rougher weather conditions.
@walklightly You can find Rugosa roses thriving along the beaches of Norway and Denmark.
