Today (Friday, 3/16/2018), I monitored our sites five multiflora rose (Rosa multiflora) shrubs at the Radford Bike Path site in Radford, Virginia. The weather was cool (43° F) with clear skies. Earlier in the week we got approximately 4 inches of snow. Warmer temperatures through the week melted most of the snow that had accumulated. Three of our shrubs have seen a slight decrease in breaking leaf buds compared to last week. The only other noticeable changes this week is that two of our shrubs have filled more of their canopy space compared to the weeks prior (now, 50-74%). These changes are most likely the results of former "breaking leaf buds" developing into leaves that have begun growing in attempt to reach their full size. (Post by D. Hardware).
