be rosa multiflora, which is an invasive species rose in much of the

I disagree on the invasive term. Its got a bad
rap from farmers who can't look after
their fields properly. While it does have a million
seeds fairly regular haying usually dealls with that problem.


Then you haven't been in Pennsylvania in the end of May. Everywhere you
look, you will see multiflora blooming: by the side of the expressway,
in every vacant lot, in everyone's back yard, next to every parking
lot. It is the epitomy of invasive there.


Its all space thats not getting looked after anyway.


Oh really? R. multiflora is classified as a noxious weed here in WV.
It is spread by birds and takes over mountain pastures at an incredible rate,
rendering them unsuitable for grazing.

It is highly invasive. I destroy it whenever it shows up.
