Rosa Rugosa

I took this picture last May in the dunes in North Brigantine last May. My PlantSnap app identified it as a Rosa Rugosa. Beautiful flower, but I saw some sites that said it was an invasive species. Does anyone know if that is true?

Gets aggressive in garden settings and is difficult to remove. Not to mention the nasty thorns. I planted once in my driveway because I figured if it grew in the sand it would grow in gravel. Absolutely right but I still pull some now and then.
