Multiflora is one of my favourites as well.
The introduced roses may be providing much needed structural..antierosion +
wind break + habitat layering..and food resources.

We wrote a paper on Brier's rose..The Rugosa Rose of China. .and started
thinking bad bad bad then found it fed squirrels, mice gulls and coyotes
and that the bayberry we planted under its bushes and away from them
actually survived better under roses.

Much of the shorelines of fishing and agricultural communities was cleared
back 100 m or more from shore in the early 20th to the 1960s. The fields
became run out. The natives are slow to recolonize zones that originally
would be white and black spruce. But multiflora and rugosa are good
colonizers and close the nutrient cycles, reduce erosion and making habitat
and wildlife food.
Naturalists may have observed this. I was surprised seeing a squirrel
eating the outer fruit of rugosa rose and then seeing mice had cracked the
seeds themselves for the meal inside.

But the capper...no pun..is the wine and the delicious rose hip jelly
village economy of rugosa on Brier.
