Rosa multiflora is a vigorous, arching shrub rose that produces abundant clusters of small white to pink flowers in late spring, followed by tiny red hips that birds relish through winter. It tolerates a wide range of soils but performs best in full sun with good air circulation to reduce fungal issues. Be aware that this species is considered invasive in many parts of North America and should be planted with caution or managed carefully to prevent spread.
