It has the orangey-red fruit on it they look like cherry tomatoes.

We just came back from there and saw them around the Maine Coast.

Rosa rugosa?

Sea Spray Rose or Ocean Rose... we have 'em here on LI too and call them beach roses.

I was in Rhode Island/Narragansett this past week and they were everywhere.

Yes!
I think that is it!

It looked like it had been planted in the town of Bar Harbor
by the businesses.

Thank you!

Be careful about planting rosa rugosa as they send out rhizones and can take over large areas. They have lots of thorns so they are not friendly plants either.
