I wasn't familiar with this plant until a few years ago. Have questions ab=
out how much it actually does spread, and by what means. Here--Lunenburg Co=
unty--I see it planted in yards, especially of old houses, and on the groun=
ds of old farms or homesteads, even if there are no more buildings standing=
. So these plants are quite old. From what I can see, they just get thicker=
and stronger, and spread slowly in the immediate environment. At one area =
I like to bird there are some very thick swathes of it, but it is still res=
tricted to a relatively small area at the edge of an abandoned field. I see=
why the birds love it, it is almost impenetrable, at least to all but bird=
s. So they are very protected within its coils. This is an old community, g=
oing back a couple hundred years. I have to wonder when these bushes were p=
lanted. Seems to me its habit is not to spread at an alarming rate? Unlike =
some others, like Loosestrife, which seems to spread quickly and easily. Is=
multiflora invading areas beyond human landscapes? I daresay it is, but I =
don't have any data on it for here, or anywhere else. I'm all for native sp=
ecies. At the same time, I don't know that multiflora is at the top of the =
troublemakers. Maybe someone can enlighten me as to the full picture of the=
dangers and actual damage this plant has caused/is causing/is suspected to=
cause.

It would be great if this introduced plant would be eradicated. Let nativ=

Hi Nancy & All,=20
=C2=A0 =C2=A0 It is especially appreciated in late winter to judge from bi=
rd activity in the nearby bushes and red splotches in the snow. It would be=
great if the thornless strain could become predominant.=20

Overlooking its faults, Multiflora Rose is a seriously bird-friendly shrub=
judging by the number of pictures on the NSBS Facebook page lately showing=
regular and unusual birds in its branches and feeding on the rosehips. One=
has to wonder if it=E2=80=99s spread has contributed to the number of migr=
ants lingering later into the Fall and Winter? It certainly seems to help t=
hem survive at least.=20
