What part of the country are these roses found in?

Eastern Iowa.

Looks like it could
be rosa multiflora, which is an invasive species rose in much of the
eastern and central US. Here is a link to the HelpMeFind page on rosa
multiflora:

I need something invasive in my yard :-). The consensus is that it is
indeed multiflora. I remember hearing talk about that rose when I was
young but never saw one that I linked to the name.

If you have other roses in your garden, this is not a rose you want to
have in your garden, as it is a carrier of a mite that might carry a
virus callede rose rosette, a rose disease that can kill your roses.

Only have a couple left but I am wanting to try to propagate some Father
Hugo's roses and some other old ones I find. I'll just have to take my
chances on mites and the like.



It is a very pretty rose, by the way, and has a sweet scent.

Yes, I can't get over how beautiful it looks and smells.
