On April 19th at approximately 4:30PM, I observed our two Multiflora Rose (Rosa multiflora) plants. It was a sunny day with mild cloud coverage and a temperature of 43 degrees Fahrenheit. Both plants displayed approximately 75% increasing leaf size and are very similar to last weeks observations occupying approximately 75% of their total available space. There are still breaking leaf buds present but with warming weather conditions plant maturity should be reached fairly soon. (Post by Zakk Moorman)

On April 12th I observed our two Mutiflora Rose plants. It was a sunny day with very little cloud cover, and the temperature was around 70 degrees fahrenheit at 2:00 P.M. when I evaluated each plant. Both plants had increasing leaf size with approximately 75% of them being full size. Both plants also filled approximately 75% of the full potential canopy space. There were still some breaking leaf buds but most had developed into growing leaves. There were still many fruits from last years growing season with no flower buds present, but hopefully with consistent warm weather they will develop. (Post by M.

April 5, 2018 was a cooler 55*F. This week’s monitoring trip showed that both multiflora rose bushes were still actively starting to leaf out. With 1001, to 10,000 breaking leaf buds on each plant, this new growth is really starting to signal that spring is here. Of course both bushes also had full leaves out as well with about 70-75% of all leaves fully emerged. Unfortunately, there still aren’t any signs of flower buds emerging on either plant yet, however, with the warmer temperatures it shouldn’t be too much longer before they appear. Additionally it appears that some of the fruits from last season are still hanging on. (Post by N. Johnson)
