For those who don't know it, rosa rugosa is totally hardy and disease
free, will grow in sand, and if you keep deadheading it flowers all
summer.

Alternatively, if you leave it to its own devices it produces
gobstopper-sized hips which attract greenfinches and make excellent rose
hip syrup. You can make up for lost flowers by growing a late flowering
honeysuckle through it.

Rose hip syrup? That sounds like a good idea. I see a little googling
coming on.
