On March 22nd, 2018 I observed the two Multiflora Rose plants at Selu in Radford, Virginia. Weather conditions were cold, approximately 36 degrees Fahrenheit with clear skies and several inches (3-4 roughly) of snow coverage on the ground. This was a different snowfall occurrence than observed last week and is very different from our initial observation of these plants. Conditions were similar to the previous week’s observations with the bushes still containing 101-1000 breaking leaf buds, approximately 5% of the potential canopy contained leaves and roughly 25% of them were increasing in leaf size. Both plants are still lacking flower buds but weather predictions are showing warmer weather approaching which will encourage the plants development. Both plants still contained 101-1000 ripened fruits from the previous year. (Post by Zakk Moorman)
