Fellow CenTex resident here. Generally speaking, the old chinas and descendants – noisettes and teas (including Old Blush) do pretty well here. Rose rustlers began promoting these oldies as “found roses” in this area, and I believe that is largely the origin of the Antique Rose Emporium in Brenham, Tx.
Rugosas generally hate it here, but hybrids like Sir Thomas Lipton can do well (due to noisette heritage).
Modern roses are a mixed bag due to complex heritage. You probably know several descendants of Knockout do well, as does e.g. Radler’s Carefree Sunshine. Limoncello probably shares some of that lineage as well.
For hips, I don’t know what to recommend. The hips that make me happy are more seed than flesh, so I haven’t really paid much attention to such.
FWIW, depending on your location, banksia might not entirely be reliably hardy for training long term. A few years ago, winter storm Uri, for instance, knocked every banksia I know of in north Austin to ground level.
Was that snowmagedon? I live about a hour and a half away from austin. Ill keep lookong at various climbers and ramblers i guess. Thanks everyone for the great tips and replys and suggestions

You could also look at the flavorette line of roses that are supposed to have tasty edible petals and improve those to meet your needs if you have access to them. I dont have experience with them, but im fascinated by them and want to see if they really are palatable.
Thanks ill check those out i havent heard of them? What do the petals taste like?
One is supposed to be pear, the other honey-apricot
Sounds tasty 
ill look into them both thanks 
Judy Singer’s rose Hot Salsa! has good size hips & a lot of sugar in taste. Gail Trimble’s Violet Hour has small hips but they taste just like a Red Delicious apple. You could try crossing them with some of the large hip roses and see if you get a plant with both qualities. Worth a shot!
Thanks ill look for those too to see if they grow here.
Smooth Splendour
This modern, thornless climber has huge hips with lots of surprisingly sweet-ish, carrot coloured/textured flesh. (Blooms are moderately fragrant.)
Note that there is a trade-off between allowing hips to form and further flushes of blooms.
Hairs in hips should be diligently removed from hip flesh (I believe they can remain irritating through the entire digestive system. And beyond…)
I also read that rose hip flesh becomes softer after a couple of ‘hard frosts’ but this could handle confirmation from experts here.
(I have never made anything from hips myself.)
