Pacific Wax Myrtle is our best native evergreen shrub for screening and grows well along the coast. It is an excellent choice. Rosa rugosa is not a native Rose. We have 2 species of native roses that would be better for your situation: Nootka Rose, Rosa nutkana, or Peafruit (Clustered Swamp Rose) Rose, Rosa pisocarpa. They are very similar. The main differences are that Nootka Rosa has more single blossoms and larger hips and Peafruit Rose has clustered blooms and clusters of pea-sized hips.

I have a hedge that is very close to the beach. Strong winds come through and the salt air is burning one side of the hedge. Sadly it is the side that my neighbors see so I need to replace it with a plant that can survive wind and salt air, evergreen and provide privacy. 6 feet is the ideal height. Christiansens suggested Rugosa or Pacific west mrytle.
I am not a gardener, wish I was and I try. Can you make a suggestion?
I wish the guy who did the landscape plan and paid more attention to the setting.
Thank you

— will have to do a lot more reading here!

I’m looking forward to following you; thank you so much for your work and for sharing it.

Thanks Don! I have never been to Tucson; It has a very different ecosystem than my Pacific Northwest Forests!
