ROSA MULTIFLORA 
Controls Erosion @ Provides Wild Life Refuge 
Adds Beauty to the Landscape 
Rosa Multiflora is nothing new. It is the understock or root on which named 
Rose varieties are budded. Originally it was imported from Japan. It has come into 
prominence as a result of work done by the U. S. Department of Agriculture on 
erosion control in the western states. Because of its fast growth and hardiness, it 
has also been used on large farms and estates for fences. Extensive advertising 
taking advantage of the name Rose, has brought the plant into big demand as a 
hedge for small properties. We grow the plant and want to sell it, but are zealous 
in our obligation to our customers in stating that we can’t recommend Rosa Multi- 
flora for small lots. We will gladly sell it to you if you want to try, but we would 
not want you to be led astray by the glamorous claims that have been made for it.
