I've seen rosa rugosa growing wild by the side of the road in Maine and it looks magnificent with its large red hips. And I've lost Conrad F. Meyer a few times. It seems to be a rose for some very different climate from any I've lived in. I grew Jens Munk in deep shade in NJ. It never bloomed, but it made a pretty shrub there. Probably should have grown rhododendrons there instead...
I've been tempted recently by Belle Poitevine and Roseraie de l'Hay. I need to find more room in the wild garden somehow.
