I’m looking for R. Gallica Officianalis or the French Rose and/or Rosa Rugosa. Where should I look? Also, which do you like better for culinary uses and why? I’m also open to trading and such for a rooted cutting (I’ve tried rooting roses before and I suck at it.)

Hi there,
I live in Greece, a Mediterranean climate of 450mm per year and (increasingly) hot summers. Our veggies are suffering in the direct sun and since I am still in the process of finishing the permaculture design in general I am thinking of adding some kind of light shade tree. They would be in the middle of the double reach veggie beds (90cm/3ft), but I don’t know if their roots are going to be interfering with the veggies too much. They will be no dig veggie beds, though I might still till a few times before finalising everything. Right now as it stands the whole veggie patch will be about 280m2 with three patches that will rotate between being a chook run and veggie garden. So one or two will have veggies and the remainder will be for the chooks. Then after one finishes we send the chooks to dig it up and start planting out the patch they just left.
I know there is people who have added shade trees to their veggie gardens but I am having difficulty finding anything on Leucaena specifically. I have a few hundred tiny seedlings coming up right now, which is the reason for asking about this species.
I am writing here because I know the tree has a long history in Australia and other places, but barely any history here in Greece.
