Sounds very much like Rosa Rubigosa.

Rosa rugosa
It is a wonderful rose. Some varieties are grown especially for the large
red hips.
They will grow practically anywhere.
Each of mine just get one handful of Rrowmore fertiliser each year.

It was sold in large quantities via ads
in the daily press in the seventies as a quick informal hedging plant.
(Before the Leylandii explosion.) It is pretty indestructible and grows
almost anywhere with little attention needed.

Agreed
