Multiflora Rose occurs throughout North Carolina. It is on the worst pest list for The Nature Conservancy's North Carolina Coastal region.

 

Multiflora rose invades natural areas, transforming landscapes into impenetrable thorny thickets. It spreads through seeds and regenerates from underground parts if any roots are left in the ground.

 

Multiple canes arise from the root. The leaves are typical rose leaves with 5 to 11 alternating leaflets and a terminal leaflet on each stem. Fragrant, white to pinkish flowers bloom from May to July. Fruit (hips) are red and attractive to birds.
