I got some really big hips this year and dried them for tea. Kind of a pain because you have to get the seeds out from inside. The hummingbirds like the rugosa the best. It still has a few late blooms, 3 even now.
I used to wear ‘Paris’ perfume from Yves Saint Laurent and that is the closest I’ve ever gotten to the heady scent of that rose bush.
I can understand why the Hummers love it! :)
