cadrinals, sapsuckers and sap, grey jaysQuoting Donna Crossland
"Multiflora rose grows nearly everywhere, which they find attractive =
(the cardinals, that is). "
The only disagreeable feature of Multiflora Rose is their often =
long, sharp thorns. But in two of two yards in which I have encountered =
this rose some plants are essentially thornless. Thorns are initiated =
but are soon shed.=20
If this condition (some thornless plants) is general then those who =
have Multiflora Rose on their property can, with a bit of work, have =
thickets of a deep rooted perennial which feeds birds and does not shred =
skin. And possibly, seeds of thornless roses, spread by birds elsewhere, =
will tend to yield a higher proportion of thornless seedlings than =
usual.
