Multiflora
rose is a dense spreading shrub with wide arching
canes (round in cross section) and stiff curved thorns.
It has the ability to form large many-stemmed bushes.
These bushes can grow up to 15 feet and have a root
crown diameter of 8 inches. Leaves opposite, pinnately
compound usually with 5 to 11 small, toothed leaflets.
Multiflora rose has clusters of white flowers with
five petals, whereas most native roses have pink flowers.
Fruits, called rose hips, are hard, round, and red.
At the base of each leaf stalk a feathery fringed
bract is present.
