Please can someone ID this rose (link to pic inside)
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 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. 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. It doesn't actually carry the mite, just allows it to spread as it forms the link between the wild population and the cultivated population of roses. Just to let you guys know Multiflora is starting to become resistant to Rose Rosette. The first few resistant strands have been found in South West Missouri. This is very prelimnary but it seems fairly definite. It is a very pretty rose, by the way, and has a sweet scent. This I agree. -- Theo in Zone 5 Kansas City |
