Default Rosa rugosa edible hips

Has anyone tried growing Rosa rugosa for the large edible rosehips?

I grow the Harlequin rose - and it has a profusion of rose hips. I cut them
when they turn red - cut out the seeds - and eat them raw.

Unfortunately, the rose has been infested with thrips - and I've sprayed
Rogor on it. I guess I would have to wait a month or so before I can harvest
the hips.
