Rose Pictures

This rambling, sometimes climbing, introduced rose species is highly invasive throughout much of the United States. Originally from Japan, Korea and eastern China, multiflora rose was first introduced to the eastern United States in 1866 as rootstock for ornamental roses. Since then it has been widely used for erosion control, as a "living fence" to confine livestock, and in highway medians to reduce headlight glare and as a crash barrier. Unfortunately, multiflora rose turned out to be highly invasive and is now considered a noxious weed or invasive plant in most parts of the country.

Here in King County, Washington, there are patches of multiflora rose along a few highway stretches as well as escaped populations along streams such as Issaquah Creek, Soos Creek and Cottage Lake Creek. Multiflora rose might be confused with blackberry or other thicket-forming, thorny bushes, but can be distinguished by its clusters of numerous, small, red rose hips and its tendency to climb as well as form thickets of upright, arching branches.

Multiflora rose is not on the Washington State Noxious Weed List and property owners are not required to control this plant. However, in King County, it is classified as a Weed of Concern and control is recommended, especially in natural areas that are being restored to native vegetation and along stream banks where multiflora rose can interfere with riparian habitat. For more information about noxious weed regulations and definitions, see Noxious weed lists and laws.

Multiflora rose tolerates a wide range of soil, moisture and light conditions. It can invade fields, forests, stream banks, some wetlands and many other habitats. Dense thickets of multiflora rose exclude other vegetation from establishing and may be detrimental to nesting of some native birds. In pastures, multiflora rose can form thickets that exclude livestock and reduce forage areas. Multiflora rose can climb ten feet or more into the lower branches of trees.

A combination of methods works well for controlling multiflora rose. Individual plants can be dug up or controlled with herbicide. The cut stump method is one way to target the multiflora rose with less risk of harming other plants. Larger patches of plants or dense thickets can be controlled by frequent, repeated cutting or mowing at the rate of three to six times per growing season, for two to four years. Another method is to cut the plants and then spray the re-growth with a systemic herbicide such as glyphosate or triclopyr. Glyphosate works better late in the growing season. No biological controls are available at this time. No matter what method is chosen, follow up is essential because of the long-lived seed bank in the soil.

Because multiflora rose is not on the Washington State Noxious Weed List, we do not notify landowners if we locate populations and we do not require control. However, we are interested in mapping locations in King County, especially in natural areas or anywhere it was not intentionally planted. We are also gathering information on effective control methods. If you have had any success (or failures) controlling this plant, we would welcome that information as well. If you would like to report any locations or share any other information, please email the noxious weed program.

For the best show of flowers and the healthiest plants, rose bushes should receive six to eight hours of sunlight daily. They should also be planted in well-drained soil that is rich in organic matter. In especially hot climates, roses do best when they are protected from the hot afternoon sun. In cold climates, planting a rose bush next to a south- or west-facing fence or wall can help minimize winter freeze damage.

For an impressive show of flowers, a rose bush needs to be fertilized regularly. Organic methods provide a slow, steady supply of nutrients. Monthly applications of compost, composted manure, and other organic and natural fertilizers, such as this organic fish emulsion, work well. Organic amendments also help to encourage beneficial soil microbes and a well-balanced soil pH.

Slow-release fertilizers, like Jobe's Organic Fertilizer Spikes, supply the right balance of nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and other minor nutrients. They also give rose bushes the nourishment they need for optimum growth.

Powdery mildew typically appears during the summer, especially when the days are hot and dry and the nights are cool and wet. The tell-tale signs include leaves that curl and twist and the development of a white, powdery down on the leaves. To avoid powdery mildew, water plants at ground level in the morning, since wet leaves (especially overnight) provide the perfect growing environment. Pruning a rose bush to allow air to circulate through the foliage also helps prevent this powdery growth.

Pesky insects that like to feed on rose bushes include aphids, Japanese beetles, spider mites, and sawflies. Most of these pests can be controlled with neem oil or insecticidal soap. In the case of aphids, a blast of water from a hose in the morning is often the only treatment necessary. Companion planting with alliums can also help repel aphids.

Listed as a Unique Venue with the City of Raleigh Parks, Recreation and Cultural Resources Department, the Raleigh Rose Garden is open to the public from dawn to dusk, 7 days a week. The Raleigh Rose Garden was dedicated in 1951, the finishing touch to the WPA landmark Raleigh Little Theatre campus. Since then, the Raleigh Rose Garden has offered a year-round display of roses, trees, and perennials.

Professional photographers are welcome to have sessions at the park, however, all commercial film or photography taking place in a City of Raleigh Park requires a permit. You can apply for an annual film permit directly through the Parks, Recreation and Cultural Resources Department. This is a one year permit and covers all City of Raleigh Parks. Tag the Raleigh Rose Garden on Facebook or location tag us on Instagram to share your pictures!

The Raleigh Rose Garden enjoys excellent stewardship and care from the City of Raleigh Parks, Recreation and Cultural Resources Department. In addition, a group of specialized volunteers support the upkeep of the beds. Please stop to smell the roses and say a word of thanks when you see these people in the garden.

Greg and Rose's PictureInformationTypePhotoOwnerGreg Universe (his copy, formerly)Rose Quartz (her copy, formerly)Steven Universe (Greg's copy)AppearancesDebut"Laser Light Cannon"Latest"Growing Pains"Greg and Rose's Pictures are two identical pictures portraying Greg Universe and Rose Quartz. One of them belonged to Greg; it makes its first appearance in "Laser Light Cannon" and was later given to Steven sometime before the events of Steven Universe: The Movie. The other picture presumably belonged to Rose; it appeared in "Lion 3: Straight to Video".

The pictures portray Greg, holding a hot dog in his mouth and looking at Rose, who has her eyes closed. Unusually, Greg's scalp is completely bald despite the fact that the picture was taken before Steven's birth, when he had more hair. In "Maximum Capacity", Amethyst replaced the broken frame of Greg's picture with a light blue one decorated with seashells. The new frame has a picture of a yellow starfish in the upper left corner and some more mollusks shells in the lower right corner. It also has a yellow tag bearing the word "sale" in all capital letters in the bottom right corner.

The difficult cultivation of the flower is cause for celebration. For Tihomir Tachev and Aleksandrina Aleksandrova, like many rose producers, working their 4.5 acres of roses in Buzovgrad becomes a long, complicated, and expensive process. Planting the cuttings begins in autumn when the soil is ready. Efforts continue into the year with persistent fertilizing, tractor work, dry branch removal, and insect and weed removal, which proves costly. Finally, the rose-picking season arrives in May and June.

Many rose producers, like Tihomir Tachev and Aleksandrina Aleksandrova, joined together from across Bulgaria's Rose Valley to dump out entire bags of flowers on the highways in protest of low purchase prices by the distilleries processing rose oil. Eagerly sought by cosmetics and fragrance producers such as Dr. Hauschka and Este Lauder, the oil remains highly priced. Meanwhile, the flower prices have fallen to barely cover production and labor costs.

Hybrid tea roses were first created by crossing robust, vigorous hybrid perpetuals with the more tender, long-flowering tea roses. The result was the modern hybrid tea rose, which have large flowers that are held alone on straight stems. The flowers have a 'pointed' appearance. Most are fragranced and they're available in all colours except blue. Repeat-flowering and an open growth habit. Ideal for cut flowers.

Polyanthas are small shrub roses, bearing clusters of small flowers. They have bushy growth and are robust, repeat flowerers. Most have some fragrance. Their relatively compact shape makes them great for edging borders.

Floribunda roses are the result of crossing hybrid tea and polyantha roses. They bear lots of flowers held in clusters and are generally bushier in form. Considered hardier and more resistant to disease than hybrid teas. Wide range of flower colours, though many have no scent. Repeat-flowering. e24fc04721
