This invader takes over old farm fields. Left alone, it becomes a nasty enemy of plants and mammals alike. Image of Multiflora Rose courtesy Wisconsin DNR
Large, thorny, flowery rose plant that spreads quickly and pushes out native vegetation, creating impenetrable thickets. Once promoted by state conservation departments as "living fence." 
Considered thorned and dangerous. Builds huge, nasty clumps, up to 10 feet tall, 20 feet diameter. Best to control early; may need bulldozer to eradicate big clumps. |
