Multiflora Rose (Rosa multiflora)

Very common bush in disturbed areas. Part of the Rosaceae family, it occurs randomly throughout but mostly towards the edges of this area. Prefers moist areas but can grow in a variety of conditions. An edge species, it requires a lot of light like most of the species that take advantage of disturbed areas like this. It is known for its white flowers and many thorns as pictured. Many different wildlife species enjoy eating the leaves of this plant, a small praise for a very invasive species and its because of that invasiveness that it has earned its spot on this list.
