Rosa multiflora - Multiflora Rose

Rosa multiflora is a common sight along the edge of the driveway leading towards the house. These are native to eastern Asia and considered extremely invasive. Easily identifiable in the fall by their small, red hips (fruit), they are thorny and provide food for birds and other animals. However, their use as a food source is what makes them so invasive, their seeds being easily spread by animals and birds.
