Wild Rose?

[Swampster]

While not strictly deer habitat related, but wild rose has really exploded on my place the last two years. Always been there in spots, but seems to be everywhere now. I prefer to see native vegetation. I'll spend quite a bit of time working on rose and Japanese Stiltgrass this Spring/Summer. Losing proposition probably but I think I can impact it.

Multifloral rose?

I have a lot of them in my surrounding woods this year also.

Kill it with chemicals or it will keep spreading via roots, suckers and seed

Spray! Before they bloom like crazy!

I have one spot on my property which has a number of invasives. A landing area where log trucks must have staged. I was in there yesterday cutting and stump treating bradford pears. The only place on the property where there are any and I cut 20 or so 4 in. diameter or less. Before much Greenup it was obvious how much multifloral Rose there is, good grief lots of it. I think I will spray next week. I hate that stuff several of them grabbed my shirt and I couldn't even get free without turning and twisting around struggling and the use of four letter words.

I was basal bark spraying a week or two ago and came across a few rose bushes. They got treated as well.

Are you talking about Multiflora Rose or Wild Rose? Those are two different species. Personally, I foster true Wild Rose. They are beautiful and I've had no problem with them taking over. I primarily have them in power-line Right-of-Ways.

I was speaking of multiflora, might not actually be the same thing as Wild Rose.

I'm not familiar much between the two, but I do know multiflora has to go. Kill it all. Most of the habitat shows I watch talk about going scorched earth on it

Correct. Wild Rose is a completely different plant. Very pretty pink flowers. Multiflora has white flowers.

Multiflora.
