Multiflora Rose

[klm3030]

Probably been ask before but can't find it. What effect would pulling multiflora rose out by the roots have? Would it kill it or make it worse?

Never tried that approach. Remedy and Weedmaster in a backpack sprayer has worked for me. Mostly pain and blood free.

We pull ours out or scoop it out with a bucket. Fairly shallow roots. It will kill it better... might get a few shoots but I much prefer to remove the bulk of the plant than to kill with chemicals.

I use Crossbow or an equivalent product.

Pulling by the roots works fine. There may be a few shoots from the roots, but they're easy to take care of with spray.

I wait till have a decent rain and I grub ones with a claw of a hammer when I drive by them. Usually works really well and they come out easy after a good rain.

Can you get to them with a bush hog? Cut them down to ground about the first of July. Come back the first week of September and spray the regrowth. We wiped out multifloral on our farm by doing that.

thanks guys, I usually spray with Crossbow but have a few big ones scattered around and thought while I'm out looking for Russian Olive and Ceder trees and thorn trees to pull would pull some Multiflora Rose. I have one of those tree/post pullers on skidsteer.
