On February 22, 2018, we monitored our team's five multiflora rose (Rosa multiflora) shrubs at our Radford Bike Path site in Radford, Virginia. It was a very warm, sunny day (78°F). As with last week, temperatures have continued to be higher than normal with temperatures exceeding 80°F. Since last weeks monitoring there has been only slight changes to each of the five plants. Each shrub has seen a slight increase in the number of breaking leaf buds but are still within the same window as last week (101-1,000). Few leaves (>5% Total Canopy) were seen on all five plants. Of the leaves present, most are continuing to increasing in size, and on average they are at 25% of their potential size. As with last week, two of our plants continue to bear ripe fruit. (Post by T.
