I don't grow a lot of species but my R. roxburghii plena and R. virginiana have spiny hips. This last rose has similar thorns to the ones I see in your photos. The leaves have superb colour in autumn.

Thanks, Patricia.
I was leaning toward Rosa virgininica.

Doesn't look like a hip to me, when I'm not mistaken, it looks like a gall.

Jay, when I first noticed it I thought it was a clump of small cockleburs from burdock or something.
I brought a piece home with me and I just re-checked it. It is definitely attached to the rose by a stem rather than engulfing the stem the way I suppose a gall would. I opened a couple and they all seem sterile, but a defined seed cavity. I hope to be back up there in a few days. Maybe I can find a hip of this year's flower.

Maybe the flowerbottom looks the same, but over here it can look, as if galls have a stem, when it's a bud-gall.

You were absolutely right. I re-checked the same plant found more spurred objects. Cracked one open and it had tiny worms inside. Also, I found more conventional looking hips on the plant just under a 1/2" diameter.
Thanks.
