▶ "Rosa multiflora is a species of rose (Rosaceae) —commonly known as multiflora rose, baby rose, Japanese rose, Eijitsu rose— native to China, Japan, and Korea.

Rosa multiflora is a scrambling, deciduous shrub, climbing over other plants to a height of 11- 16 feet (3–5 m), with stout stems and recurved prickles [type of thorn]. The 5-petaled flowers are produced in large corymbs [flat-topped inflorescence]; each flower is small, 5⁄8–1 5⁄8 inches in diameter (1.5–4 cm), white or pink, borne in early summer [or in early spring, as here in Georgia!].

Rosa multiflora was brought to the USA from Asia as a rootstock for many roses; its planting was encouraged as a shrub that would attract wildlife, help with erosion, and be used as a 'living fence' to contain livestock. It is now considered invasive in parts of North America."
