Real good job. Know it's an old video but it came up when I searched multi-flora roses cause I was trying to identify the roses my grandma had at her old farmhouse that I inherited. Something I used to be confused about was everyone was saying these are extremely invasive but when I was growing up and even today I have not once seen a single seedling anywhere on or around her peoperty but then I realized it has to be dependent on the deer pressure in any given area. Here at her home in North Carolina the white tailed deer are everywhere and they eat roses like candy so I am assuming that every single seedling from her rosa multiflora that comes up each spring is getting nipped by a deer and dying almost instantly. Don't know about the deer pressure in your area but that might explain why my roses dont seem to be invasive while everyone elses seem to be
This was so satisfying to watch! I can't wait to get after all the invasive plants that have taken over our new property and do an environmental restoration.
Been removing some large clumps of this rat weed and boy it it nasty. Wear full PPE. And I had great success w an electric chain saw. Thanks for the post.
Looks a lot like my property. Where do you start? Between the multiflora rose, oriental bittersweet vines, and even the garlic mustard covering the ground, you can almost never do enough to knock back the invasives 🤦♂️
This stuff is evil. I do trail maintenance for a trail here in New York City - what I typically do is cut it back and let it air dry on a pile of honeysuckle that I cut back. This stuff dries quick. Just keep at it and it will go away.
My property is infested with Multi Flora Rose. It is quite dangerous when attempting to remove it. Sad. I’m typically organic, but with this I do use a chemical.
I have the same question! I've removed a lot of bittersweet, as well as multiflora rose, and the thought of mulching with either of them scares the hell out of me!
I liked your video right to the point where you had cut away all the cains. If you really, think you can did them out, or burn them and they won't come back you are kidding yourself. As you were digging the one root ball out you could heard smaller roots breaking off. Those pieces of roots left in the ground will rise again. I would left the root ball in the ground and waited until small sprouts started to reappear (probably the next year). Once leave reappear, spray with a herbicide. My favorite for Multiflora Rose is Cimarron Plus, as it won't hurt the grasses.
John Henderson Do you think regularly cutting it back would weaken the plant enough that the roots will die back, making it easier to remove? Herbicide would work, but I'd rather avoid it when I can.
Lol definitely not six-minutes. I have also used hedge trimmers just to get the bulk away so I can get to the trunks. (But also, watch out for its best-friend, Poison Ivy. They are often together.)

I love this video! Thank you for posting. I don’t mulch it - I cut it to size and take to the invasive species pile at the dump. :)
Thank you!

Awesome, informative, quirky video! I'll be taking a lot of this and bittersweet off my property!
What is the best hand tool to uproot the new Multiflora Rose seedlings without separating the top from the roots?

This is way too much work for 11 acres. I think fire, chemicals and machinery are a much more efficient process.

what do you use? got the same problem
so using this as mulch doesn't carry the risk of re-spreading the stuff?

Once the herbicide has done its job would you remove the root ball at that point?

Could you give me some information on that machine you are using? I could really use one but can't find it online.
I cut it and treat and millions more come up. Neverending.
use BRUSH HOG
Cut it to the ground and it will be back in a week.
This is worthless. He's obviously a government worker
