Nativeness Notes
Legacy NPSpecies information may no longer be applicable, please remove if it is not applicable.
In legacy NPSpecies Weedy value was Yes with comment: I Rank=Medium/low; Multiflora rose has a large current distribution and is continuing to spread locally in the west. It is relatively easy to manage, and has a low ecological impact on biodiversity. It is mainly an agricultural weed, but it may create dense thickets, sometimes monocultures that crowd out native species in open woodlands, forest edges, prairies, and savannas. It has the ability to become the dominant vegetation in old fields, and in savannas and prairies that have been subjected to land disturbance. (NatureServe 2007).
In legacy NPSpecies Pest value was Yes with comment: Identified as a priority for management in the BLRI Exotic Plant Management Plan (2006).
