Questions & Comments

Is this the same variety I have growing wild in my yard here in minnesota? It almost looks like it but the thorns on your pic look to have more & the branch looks thicker... Or is it just the camera? Thanx! =•)

i dunno -- i would have to see what grows in your yard . . . if it is the same, the difference may be from being cultivated rather than growing wild

I absolutely love the idea of a rose that grows wild...no having to baby it is right up my alley. LOL I assume it requires direct sunlight, right?

it grows in full sun to part sun locations . . . with sun in the early part of the day and the shade in the late afternoon.

Dude-you weren't lying about the thorns. I LOVE them, they could be great burgler deterant. :)

or if there's a place where, say schoolkids like to cut through your property, wearing a path in the grass or damaging shrubs - it becomes a detour sign !

Okay Lazlo, since I know zilch about these will you tell me about the orange bulb things growing out of the stems? Sorry.

Do they have a fragrance? I have some wild roses that have no fragrance but my wild multiflora are very sweet.
