2 unusual facts about Rosa multiflora


Joseph Pemberton

After his retirement in 1914, Pemberton turned to rose breeding, using the climber 'Trier' (descended from 'Aglaia', an 1896 cross by Peter Lambert using Rosa multiflora), he crossed it with hybrid teas to produce a class of highly scented, generally cluster-flowered roses which remain popular garden material to this day.

Rosa blanda

This species is the native flower of regions in Kansas and North Dakota; however, it can be very similar to the Rosa multiflora, an invasive species introduced from Japan.
