Dog roses generally have short lived flowers that can't be deadheaded. But you do get the benefit of nice red rose hips to give some extra colour into winter. Hence why I think the two together would work well.
Hmmmm, can't remember ever seeing any rose hips. Maybe it's not a dog rose. It's definitely a climbing rose with white flowers. It's fairly vigorous - grew to over 6 feet tall, pulled the old wire trellis off the wall, and then grew upwards by another 6+ feet. That took some shifting!

My 2p is it might be worth adding a complimentary white rose.
