Rosa Multflora - Multflora Rose, Rambler Rose

    Multiflora Rose (Rosa multiflora) is a perennial shrub native to Asia, China, Japan, and Korea.  This sprawling bush grows up to 15 feet tall with thorny stems and clusters of small white flowers. Once widely planted to stabilize soil and provide wildlife cover, this plant now invades riparian zones, roadsides, woodlands, and disturbed areas.
