I imagine that you won't have goats on .11 acres, but as far as permaculture goes, I was thinking that roses around a goat yard-outside the fence!- would be great. They would make the area more beautiful and the goats would prune their side. Any trimmings could be tossed in to the goats. I've heard goats really love roses.
There is the companion planting book "Roses Love Garlic". I think the garlic helps keep pests away.
Rose hip tea is pretty tasty. I make it really strong and use it as the liquid to puree strawberries and other fruit for popsicles.
If you get any romantic ideas about throwing rose petals around, they stain, so watch where you put them.
