(Rosa multiflora) 
The “living fence.’’ Becomes 6 feet high and 6-8 feet wide, so dense and thorny 
in 5 years that no domestic animal can penetrate it. Many clusters of white flowers 
provide a show in late spring, giving way to red berries in winter. Plant 12-15” 
apart for fences. Also useful for erosion control and wild game cover. Can be 
sheared for a tight hedge on the home grounds. Spreads by branches bending down 
and taking root unless trimmed or disturbed by normal farm operations (grazing 
of animals, plowing, mowing, etc.) 
Requires sun, hardy in all but very coldest sections, not well adapted to excep- 
tionally dry climates. Our stock is sturdy and well-branched again this season, but 
as usual the 5-9” grade includes some single stem plants. 
Government planting 
recommendations call for cutting back to 3 inches to insure bushy growth the first 
season. So, to facilitate handling, we cut them back to 6 to 8 inches unless you 
request otherwise.
