Great info! This has helped me tremendously to identify both native & invasive types on my property, have been struggling with this for years. Thank you!

[@biglittlefarm5137]

Really good video. Great tips that enable positive I.D. You have a pleasant voice and good command of the subject matter.

Thank you. I just bought my own property and have been surveying the plants. Great presentation!

This is an excellent identification video. Thank you so much for your efforts!

A good pair of gloves for sure and a pair of shorts ??

[@lisamader5270]

I find even long pants can't battle against those thorns.

Thanks for the info
Very interesting

[@suyashsalunkhe1890]

Is this resistant for fusarium wilt and nematode

[@CH67guy1]

You mean to tell me goats don’t get the thorns stuck in their tongues?

[@blakespower]

I dont like them, too many thorns and will take over an area fast. I will start cutting them totally down I used to just trim them like once or twice a year

[@InADarkTavern]

Me whos intentionally growing this rose: hmm interesting

[@lotusholistichealing]

Have you thought about growing native roses instead? Also, I'm curious why are you intentionally growing multiflora rose?

[@InADarkTavern]

@@lotusholistichealing well I haven’t found any native roses in my area, the only ones I’ve seen are canina, rugosa multiflora, and hybrids of those. I’m actually planning on growing the multiflora for a rootstock because I want to try grafting for the first time

[@andrewjames9065]

I'm rooting them as well right now,can you not use this rose as you do all other Rose's as far as the hips,petals etc,as well I plan to use what I believe are the Carolina rose growing here as well,plus the fragrance of the multiflora is out of this world
