When we did the Tour de Lighthouse last year the first one I saw was the Cape Neddick Lighthouse in York Maine. Besides seeing the rocky shores (and by rocky I mean BIG rocks) I noticed these huge rose bushes with the biggest rose hips I had ever seen. They are a native eastern rose called the Virginia rose; hardy to the cold and pretty tough.
I would love to have a row of these growing in my yard but I’ve read that besides being hardy they will take over if given a chance.

Nice takes on these, Teri. They’ll be lighting up Nubble light for the holidays about now. I like it better with warm weather and roses. Cheers!
Thanks and while I bet the Nubble looks great with holiday lights the breeze from the ocean is not one I’d like to encounter.
I photographed it last year in December. It was soooo cold.
I only want to imagine that. I learned last year doing some holiday lights how quickly batteries will die in the cold …
Yeah, my spirit usually dies before my batteries when it’s that cold.
